1

Now Jephthah [3316] the Gileadite [1569] was a mighty [1368] man of valour, [2428] and he [was] the son [1121] of an harlot: [0802] [2181] and Gilead [1568] begat [3205] Jephthah. [3316]

2

And Gilead's [1568] wife [0802] bare [3205] him sons; [1121] and his wife's [0802] sons [1121] grew up, [1431] and they thrust out [1644] Jephthah, [3316] and said [0559] unto him, Thou shalt not inherit [5157] in our father's [0001] house; [1004] for thou [art] the son [1121] of a strange [0312] woman. [0802]

3

Then Jephthah [3316] fled [1272] from [6440] his brethren, [0251] and dwelt [3427] in the land [0776] of Tob: [2897] and there were gathered [3950] vain [7386] men [0582] to Jephthah, [3316] and went out [3318] with him.

4

And it came to pass in process of time, [3117] that the children [1121] of Ammon [5983] made war [3898] against Israel. [3478]

5

And it was so, that when the children [1121] of Ammon [5983] made war [3898] against Israel, [3478] the elders [2205] of Gilead [1568] went [3212] to fetch [3947] Jephthah [3316] out of the land [0776] of Tob: [2897]

6

And they said [0559] unto Jephthah, [3316] Come, [3212] and be our captain, [7101] that we may fight [3898] with the children [1121] of Ammon. [5983]

7

And Jephthah [3316] said [0559] unto the elders [2205] of Gilead, [1568] Did not ye hate [8130] me, and expel [1644] me out of my father's [0001] house? [1004] and why are ye come [0935] unto me now when ye are in distress? [6887]

8

And the elders [2205] of Gilead [1568] said [0559] unto Jephthah, [3316] Therefore we turn [7725] again to thee now, that thou mayest go [1980] with us, and fight [3898] against the children [1121] of Ammon, [5983] and be our head [7218] over all the inhabitants [3427] of Gilead. [1568]

9

And Jephthah [3316] said [0559] unto the elders [2205] of Gilead, [1568] If ye bring me home again [7725] to fight [3898] against the children [1121] of Ammon, [5983] and the LORD [3068] deliver [5414] them before [6440] me, shall I be your head? [7218]

10

And the elders [2205] of Gilead [1568] said [0559] unto Jephthah, [3316] The LORD [3068] be witness [8085] between us, if we do [6213] not so according to thy words. [1697]

11

Then Jephthah [3316] went [3212] with the elders [2205] of Gilead, [1568] and the people [5971] made [7760] him head [7218] and captain [7101] over them: and Jephthah [3316] uttered [1696] all his words [1697] before [6440] the LORD [3068] in Mizpeh. [4709]

12

And Jephthah [3316] sent [7971] messengers [4397] unto the king [4428] of the children [1121] of Ammon, [5983] saying, [0559] What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come [0935] against me to fight [3898] in my land? [0776]

13

And the king [4428] of the children [1121] of Ammon [5983] answered [0559] unto the messengers [4397] of Jephthah, [3316] Because Israel [3478] took [3947] away my land, [0776] when they came up [5927] out of Egypt, [4714] from Arnon [0769] even unto Jabbok, [2999] and unto Jordan: [3383] now therefore restore those [lands] again [7725] peaceably. [7965]

14

And Jephthah [3316] sent [7971] messengers [4397] again [3254] unto the king [4428] of the children [1121] of Ammon: [5983]

15

And said [0559] unto him, Thus saith [0559] Jephthah, [3316] Israel [3478] took [3947] not away the land [0776] of Moab, [4124] nor the land [0776] of the children [1121] of Ammon: [5983]

16

But when Israel [3478] came up [5927] from Egypt, [4714] and walked [3212] through the wilderness [4057] unto the Red [5488] sea, [3220] and came [0935] to Kadesh; [6946]

17

Then Israel [3478] sent [7971] messengers [4397] unto the king [4428] of Edom, [0123] saying, [0559] Let me, I pray thee, pass [5674] through thy land: [0776] but the king [4428] of Edom [0123] would not hearken [8085] [thereto]. And in like manner they sent [7971] unto the king [4428] of Moab: [4124] but he would [0014] not [consent]: and Israel [3478] abode [3427] in Kadesh. [6946]

18

Then they went [3212] along through the wilderness, [4057] and compassed [5437] the land [0776] of Edom, [0123] and the land [0776] of Moab, [4124] and came [0935] by the east side [4217] [8121] of the land [0776] of Moab, [4124] and pitched [2583] on the other side [5676] of Arnon, [0769] but came [0935] not within the border [1366] of Moab: [4124] for Arnon [0769] [was] the border [1366] of Moab. [4124]

19

And Israel [3478] sent [7971] messengers [4397] unto Sihon [5511] king [4428] of the Amorites, [0567] the king [4428] of Heshbon; [2809] and Israel [3478] said [0559] unto him, Let us pass, [5674] we pray thee, through thy land [0776] into [5704] my place. [4725]

20

But Sihon [5511] trusted [0539] not Israel [3478] to pass [5674] through his coast: [1366] but Sihon [5511] gathered [0622] all his people [5971] together, and pitched [2583] in Jahaz, [3096] and fought [3898] against Israel. [3478]

21

And the LORD [3068] God [0430] of Israel [3478] delivered [5414] Sihon [5511] and all his people [5971] into the hand [3027] of Israel, [3478] and they smote [5221] them: so Israel [3478] possessed [3423] all the land [0776] of the Amorites, [0567] the inhabitants [3427] of that country. [0776]

22

And they possessed [3423] all the coasts [1366] of the Amorites, [0567] from Arnon [0769] even unto Jabbok, [2999] and from the wilderness [4057] even unto Jordan. [3383]

23

So now the LORD [3068] God [0430] of Israel [3478] hath dispossessed [3423] the Amorites [0567] from before [6440] his people [5971] Israel, [3478] and shouldest thou possess [3423] it?

24

Wilt not thou possess [3423] that which Chemosh [3645] thy god [0430] giveth thee to possess? [3423] So whomsoever the LORD [3068] our God [0430] shall drive out [3423] from before [6440] us, them will we possess. [3423]

25

And now [art] thou any thing better [2896] than Balak [1111] the son [1121] of Zippor, [6834] king [4428] of Moab? [4124] did he ever [7378] strive [7378] against Israel, [3478] or did he ever [3898] fight [3898] against them,

26

While Israel [3478] dwelt [3427] in Heshbon [2809] and her towns, [1323] and in Aroer [6177] and her towns, [1323] and in all the cities [5892] that [be] along by the coasts [3027] of Arnon, [0769] three [7969] hundred [3967] years? [8141] why therefore did ye not recover [5337] [them] within that time? [6256]

27

Wherefore I have not sinned [2398] against thee, but thou doest [6213] me [0853] wrong [7451] to war [3898] against me: the LORD [3068] the Judge [8199] be judge [8199] this day [3117] between the children [1121] of Israel [3478] and the children [1121] of Ammon. [5983]

28

Howbeit the king [4428] of the children [1121] of Ammon [5983] hearkened [8085] not unto the words [1697] of Jephthah [3316] which he sent [7971] him.

29

Then the Spirit [7307] of the LORD [3068] came upon Jephthah, [3316] and he passed over [5674] Gilead, [1568] and Manasseh, [4519] and passed over [5674] Mizpeh [4708] of Gilead, [1568] and from Mizpeh [4708] of Gilead [1568] he passed over [5674] [unto] the children [1121] of Ammon. [5983]

30

And Jephthah [3316] vowed [5087] a vow [5088] unto the LORD, [3068] and said, [0559] If thou shalt without fail [5414] deliver [5414] the children [1121] of Ammon [5983] into mine hands, [3027]

31

Then it shall be, that whatsoever [3318] cometh forth [3318] of the doors [1817] of my house [1004] to meet [7125] me, when I return [7725] in peace [7965] from the children [1121] of Ammon, [5983] shall surely be the LORD'S, [3068] and I will offer it up [5927] for a burnt offering. [5930]

32

So Jephthah [3316] passed over [5674] unto the children [1121] of Ammon [5983] to fight [3898] against them; and the LORD [3068] delivered [5414] them into his hands. [3027]

33

And he smote [5221] them from Aroer, [6177] even till thou come [0935] to Minnith, [4511] [even] twenty [6242] cities, [5892] and unto the plain [0058] of the vineyards, [3754]

34

And Jephthah [3316] came [0935] to Mizpeh [4709] unto his house, [1004] and, behold, his daughter [1323] came out [3318] to meet [7125] him with timbrels [8596] and with dances: [4246] and she [was his] only child; [3173] beside her he had neither son [1121] nor [0176] daughter. [1323]

35

And it came to pass, when he saw [7200] her, that he rent [7167] his clothes, [0899] and said, [0559] Alas, [0162] my daughter! [1323] thou hast brought me very [3766] low, [3766] and thou art one of them that trouble [5916] me: for I have opened [6475] my mouth [6310] unto the LORD, [3068] and I cannot [3808] [3201] go back. [7725]

36

And she said [0559] unto him, My father, [0001] [if] thou hast opened [6475] thy mouth [6310] unto the LORD, [3068] do [6213] to me according to that which hath proceeded [3318] out of thy mouth; [6310] forasmuch [0310] as [0834] the LORD [3068] hath taken [6213] vengeance [5360] for thee of thine enemies, [0341] [even] of the children [1121] of Ammon. [5983]

37

And she said [0559] unto her father, [0001] Let this thing [1697] be done [6213] for me: let me alone [7503] two [8147] months, [2320] that I may go [3212] up and down [3381] upon the mountains, [2022] and bewail [1058] my virginity, [1331] I and my fellows. [7464] [7474]

38

And he said, [0559] Go. [3212] And he sent her away [7971] [for] two [8147] months: [2320] and she went [3212] with her companions, [7464] and bewailed [1058] her virginity [1331] upon the mountains. [2022]

39

And it came to pass at the end [7093] of two [8147] months, [2320] that she returned [7725] unto her father, [0001] who did [6213] with her [according] to his vow [5088] which he had vowed: [5087] and she knew [3045] no man. [0376] And it was a custom [2706] in Israel, [3478]

40

[That] the daughters [1323] of Israel [3478] went [3212] yearly [3117] [3117] to lament [8567] the daughter [1323] of Jephthah [3316] the Gileadite [1569] four [0702] days [3117] in a year. [8141]
