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.1 Wherefore (saith he) we have done thee no wrong: for this land we possess by the right of war. Sihon assailed us with his power, and the victory fell on our side: wherefore both he, and all his land by the right of war came into our power.
When Iiphtah by his messengers saith vnto the king of Ammon: what hast thou to do with me? he vseth a phrase very much vsed of the Hebrues. He inquireth the cause, as though he woulde haue sayde: why inuadest thou our landes? what discord or iniuries are there betwene thee and me? The king of the Ammonites answered, that he therefore made warre, bicause the Israelites did hym iniury, which tooke away his landes, namely from the borders of Arnon, euen to Iaboc and Iarden. He complayneth that all that coast was taken from hym, which was betwene those riuers. This he pretendeth to be the cause of the war. And he desired that they would restore peaceablye, that is, without warre, that which they had taken away from him. He seemeth to promise that he will leaue of from warre, if the Israelites woulde performe this. Iiphtah denieth that the thyng is so: VVe haue not taken away (sayth he) your land. And bringeth a reason: Bicause when the Israelites came vp out of Egipt, they of their owne wyll sent messengers vnto the kyng of Edom, that they might haue leaue to passe throughe his borders: which thing he would not let them doo: so farre is it of that wee dyd them iniury. The people abode in Cades: so muche tempered they themselues frō violence and weapons. They went on the syde 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 iourneyed with great labour, then that they were troublesome vnto any man. And pitched beyond Arnon. There were the endes of Moab Wherefore ye can not complaine that we did anye man iniurye. Therfore when the Israelites saw that they could not leade their host throughe the borders of Edom or Moab, they sent vnto Sihon king of the Amorhites: But he would not: neither did he onely denye them passage through his borders, but also assembled an host, and pursued them. And the battaile beyng ioyned, God deliuered him in to the handes of the Israelites.
