When Israel dwelt in Hesbon and in her towns, and in Aroer, and in her Townes, and in all the Cities that are by the coasts of Arnon .300. years? Why did ye not then recover them in that space? ⟨p. 185⟩27 Wherefore I have not offended thee: but thou doest me wrong to war against me. The Lord the Judge be Judge this day between the children of Israel, and the children of Ammon. 28 Howbeit the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not unto the words of Jephthah, which he had sent him.
When Israell dwelte in Hesbon and in her townes, and in Aroer, and in her Townes, and in all the Cities that are by the coastes of Arnon .300. yeares? Why did ye not then recouer them in that space? ⟨p. 185⟩27 Wherefore I haue not offended thee: but thou doest me wrong to warre agaynst me. The Lord the Iudge be Iudge thys day betwene the chyldren of Israel, and the chyldren of Ammon. 28 Howbeit the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not vnto the woordes of Iiphtaph, which he had sent hym.
When Jephthah by his messengers saith unto the king of Ammon: what hast thou to do with me? he useth a phrase very much used of the Hebrews. He inquireth the cause, as though he would have said: why invadest thou our lands? what discord or injuries are there between thee and me? The king of the Ammonites answered, that he therefore made war, because the Israelites did him injury, which took away his lands, namely from the borders of Arnon, even to Jaboc and Jarden. He complaineth that all that coast was taken from him, which was between those rivers. This he pretendeth to be the cause of the war. And he desired that they would restore peaceably, that is, without war, that which they had taken away from him. He seemeth to promise that he will leave of from war, if the Israelites would perform this. Jephthah denieth that the thing is so: We have not taken away (saith he) your land. And bringeth a reason: Because when the Israelites came up out of Egypt, they of their own will sent messengers unto the king of Edom, that they might have leave to pass through his borders: which thing he would not let them do: so far is it of that we did them injury. The people abode in Cades: so much tempered they themselves from violence and weapons. They went on the side of the land of Edom: for the Edomites would not permit Israel, to go straight through the middest of their country. Wherefore my people rather journeyed with great labour, then that they were troublesome unto any man. And pitched beyond Arnon. There were the ends of Moab Wherefore ye can not complain that we did any man injury. Therefore when the Israelites saw that they could not lead their host through the borders of Edom or Moab, they sent unto Sihon king of the Amorites: But he would not: neither did he only deny them passage through his borders, but also assembled an host, and pursued them. And the battle being joined, God delivered him in to the hands of the Israelites.
