Löydetty 26 Tulokset: Jephthah
Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty warrior, but he was the son of a harlot. Gilead was the father of Jephthah. (Judges 11, 1)
And Gilead's wife also bore him sons; and when his wife's sons grew up, they thrust Jephthah out, and said to him, "You shall not inherit in our father's house; for you are the son of another woman." (Judges 11, 2)
Then Jephthah fled from his brothers, and dwelt in the land of Tob; and worthless fellows collected round Jephthah, and went raiding with him. (Judges 11, 3)
And when the Ammonites made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to bring Jephthah from the land of Tob; (Judges 11, 5)
and they said to Jephthah, "Come and be our leader, that we may fight with the Ammonites." (Judges 11, 6)
But Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, "Did you not hate me, and drive me out of my father's house? Why have you come to me now when you are in trouble?" (Judges 11, 7)
And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, "That is why we have turned to you now, that you may go with us and fight with the Ammonites, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead." (Judges 11, 8)
Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, "If you bring me home again to fight with the Ammonites, and the LORD gives them over to me, I will be your head." (Judges 11, 9)
And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, "The LORD will be witness between us; we will surely do as you say." (Judges 11, 10)
So Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and leader over them; and Jephthah spoke all his words before the LORD at Mizpah. (Judges 11, 11)
Then Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the Ammonites and said, "What have you against me, that you have come to me to fight against my land?" (Judges 11, 12)
And the king of the Ammonites answered the messengers of Jephthah, "Because Israel on coming from Egypt took away my land, from the Arnon to the Jabbok and to the Jordan; now therefore restore it peaceably." (Judges 11, 13)
