And the children of Ammon fought. We have told that the Ammonites made war against the Israelites, which is understand to have been after Jephthah departed from his fathers house: and when he should go into the land of Tob, he moved war against those Ammonites, and out of their borders took prays and booties. Therefore, when the Gileadites were oppressed, they came unto Jephthah, to bring him home again, and by his conduct to defend the city from their enemies. They desire to have him to be their head: because when they were grievously oppressed of their enemies, they judged it expedient, that there should be one to govern their things. And first they had decreed among themselves, (as we have heard) that he should be their captain, which first should fight against their enemies: but whither they did that by their own judgement and civill reason, or by the oracle of God, the history mentioneth not. But the act or condition which the Gileadites ordained, was fulfilled by Jephthah: for he with a few soldiers assailed his enemies. Therefore they seeing that they were bound to stand to their covenant, came unto Jephthah and chose him captain, because he first of all began the battle against the Ammonites.

Therefore, when the Gileadites wer oppressed, they came vnto Iiphtah, to bringe him home agayne, and by hys conducte to defende the city from theyr enemyes. They desire to haue him to be theyr head: bycause when they wer grieuously oppressed of theyr enemies, they iudged it expedient, that there shoulde be one to gouerne their thinges. And firste they had decreed among themselues, (as we haue heard) that he shoulde be theyr captayne, which fyrst shoulde fyghte againste theyr enemyes: but whither they did that by theyr owne iudgemente and ciuill reason, or by the oracle of God, the historye mencioneth not. But the act or cōdicion which the Gileadites ordeined, was fulfilled by Iiphtah: for he with a few souldiours assayled his enemies. Therefore they seyng that they were bound to stand to theyr couenant, came vnto Iiphtah and chose him captayne, bicause he fyrste of all beganne the battayle agaynste the Ammonites.
