King James Version Help
11Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour, and he was the son of an harlot: and Gilead begat Jephthah.H3316H1569H1368H2428H1121H802H2181H1568H3205H3316
2And Gilead's wife bare him sons; and his wife's sons grew up, and they thrust out Jephthah, and said unto him, Thou shalt not inherit in our father's house; for thou art the son of a strange woman.H1568H802H3205H1121H802H1121H1431H1644H3316H559H5157H1H1004H1121H312H802
3Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered vain men to Jephthah, and went out with him.H3316H1272H6440H251H3427H776H2897H3950H7386H582H3316H3318
4And it came to pass in process of time, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel.H3117H1121H5983H3898H3478
5And it was so, that when the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob:H1121H5983H3898H3478H2205H1568H3212H3947H3316H776H2897
6And they said unto Jephthah, Come, and be our captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.H559H3316H3212H7101H3898H1121H5983
7And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, Did not ye hate me, and expel me out of my father's house? and why are ye come unto me now when ye are in distress?H3316H559H2205H1568H8130H1644H1H1004H935H6887
8And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, Therefore we turn again to thee now, that thou mayest go with us, and fight against the children of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.H2205H1568H559H3316H7725H1980H3898H1121H5983H7218H3427H1568
9And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, If ye bring me home again to fight against the children of Ammon, and the LORD deliver them before me, shall I be your head?H3316H559H2205H1568H7725H3898H1121H5983H3068H5414H6440H7218
10And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, The LORD be witness between us, if we do not so according to thy words.H2205H1568H559H3316H3068H8085H6213H1697
11Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and captain over them: and Jephthah uttered all his words before the LORD in Mizpeh.H3316H3212H2205H1568H5971H7760H7218H7101H3316H1696H1697H6440H3068H4709
12And Jephthah sent messengers unto the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come against me to fight in my land?H3316H7971H4397H4428H1121H5983H559H935H3898H776
13And the king of the children of Ammon answered unto the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land, when they came up out of Egypt, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and unto Jordan: now therefore restore those lands again peaceably.H4428H1121H5983H559H4397H3316H3478H3947H776H5927H4714H769H2999H3383H7725H7965
14And Jephthah sent messengers again unto the king of the children of Ammon:H3316H7971H4397H3254H4428H1121H5983
15And said unto him, Thus saith Jephthah, Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon:H559H559H3316H3478H3947H776H4124H776H1121H5983
16But when Israel came up from Egypt, and walked through the wilderness unto the Red sea, and came to Kadesh;H3478H5927H4714H3212H4057H5488H3220H935H6946
17Then Israel sent messengers unto the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, pass through thy land: but the king of Edom would not hearken thereto. And in like manner they sent unto the king of Moab: but he would not consent: and Israel abode in Kadesh.H3478H7971H4397H4428H123H559H5674H776H4428H123H8085H7971H4428H4124H14H3478H3427H6946
18Then they went along through the wilderness, and compassed the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, but came not within the border of Moab: for Arnon was the border of Moab.H3212H4057H5437H776H123H776H4124H935H4217H8121H776H4124H2583H5676H769H935H1366H4124H769H1366H4124
19And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said unto him, Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land into my place.H3478H7971H4397H5511H4428H567H4428H2809H3478H559H5674H776H5704H4725
20But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his coast: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and pitched in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.H5511H539H3478H5674H1366H5511H622H5971H622H2583H3096H3898H3478
21And the LORD God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote them: so Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country.H3068H430H3478H5414H5511H5971H3027H3478H5221H3478H3423H776H567H3427H776
22And they possessed all the coasts of the Amorites, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and from the wilderness even unto Jordan.H3423H1366H567H769H2999H4057H3383
23So now the LORD God of Israel hath dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and shouldest thou possess it?H3068H430H3478H3423H567H6440H5971H3478H3423
24Wilt not thou possess that which Chemosh thy god giveth thee to possess? So whomsoever the LORD our God shall drive out from before us, them will we possess.H3423H3645H430H3423H3068H430H3423H6440H3423
25And now art thou any thing better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them,H2896H1111H1121H6834H4428H4124H7378H7378H3478H3898H3898
26While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and her towns, and in Aroer and her towns, and in all the cities that be along by the coasts of Arnon, three hundred years? why therefore did ye not recover them within that time?H3478H3427H2809H1323H6177H1323H5892H3027H769H7969H3967H8141H5337H6256
27Wherefore I have not sinned against 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.H2398H6213H853H7451H3898H3068H8199H8199H3117H1121H3478H1121H5983
28Howbeit the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not unto the words of Jephthah which he sent him.H4428H1121H5983H8085H1697H3316H7971
29Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead, and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over unto the children of Ammon.H7307H3068H3316H5674H1568H4519H5674H4708H1568H4708H1568H5674H1121H5983
30And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands,H3316H5087H5088H3068H559H5414H5414H1121H5983H3027
31Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD's, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering.H3318H3318H1817H1004H7125H7725H7965H1121H5983H3068H5927H5930
32So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hands.H3316H5674H1121H5983H3898H3068H5414H3027
33And he smote them from Aroer, even till thou come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and unto the plain of the vineyards, with a very great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel.H5221H6177H935H4511H6242H5892H58H3754H64H3966H1419H4347H1121H5983H3665H6440H1121H3478
34And Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she was his only child; beside her he had neither son nor daughter.H3316H935H4709H1004H1323H3318H7125H8596H4246H3173H1121H176H1323
35And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! thou hast brought me very low, and thou art one of them that trouble me: for I have opened my mouth unto the LORD, and I cannot go back.H7200H7167H899H559H162H1323H3766H3766H3766H5916H6475H6310H3068H3201H7725
36And she said unto him, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth unto the LORD, do to me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth; forasmuch as the LORD hath taken vengeance for thee of thine enemies, even of the children of Ammon.H559H1H6475H6310H3068H6213H834H3318H6310H310H3068H6213H5360H341H1121H5983
37And she said unto her father, Let this thing be done for me: let me alone two months, that I may go up and down upon the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my fellows.H559H1H1697H6213H7503H8147H2320H3212H3381H2022H1058H1331H7464H7474
38And he said, Go. And he sent her away for two months: and she went with her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains.H559H3212H7971H8147H2320H3212H7464H1058H1331H2022
39And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned unto her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed: and she knew no man. And it was a custom in Israel,H7093H8147H2320H7725H1H6213H5088H5087H3045H376H2706H3478
40That the daughters of Israel went yearly to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.H1323H3478H3212H3117H3117H8567H1323H3316H1569H702H3117H8141
