1 And the men376 of Ephraim669 gathered themselves together,6817 and went5674 northward,6828 and said559 unto Jephthah,3316 Wherefore4069 passedst thou over5674 to fight3898 against the children1121 of Ammon,5983 and didst not3808 call7121 us to go1980 with5973 thee? we will burn8313 thine house1004 upon5921 thee with fire.784

2 And Jephthah3316 said559 unto413 them, I589 and my people5971 were1961 at great strife376 7379 3966 with the children1121 of Ammon;5983 and when I called2199 you, ye delivered3467 me not3808 out of their hands.4480 3027

3 And when I saw7200 that3588 ye delivered3467 me not,369 I put7760 my life5315 in my hands,3709 and passed over5674 against413 the children1121 of Ammon,5983 and the LORD3068 delivered5414 them into my hand:3027 wherefore4100 then are ye come up5927 unto413 me this2088 day,3117 to fight3898 against me?

4 Then Jephthah3316 gathered together6908 853 all3605 the men376 of Gilead,1568 and fought3898 with854 Ephraim:669 and the men376 of Gilead1568 smote5221 853 Ephraim,669 because3588 they said,559 Ye859 Gileadites1568 are fugitives6412 of Ephraim669 among8432 the Ephraimites,669 and among8432 the Manassites.4519

5 And the Gileadites1568 took3920 853 the passages4569 of Jordan3383 before the Ephraimites:669 and it was1961 so, that when3588 those Ephraimites669 which were escaped6412 said,559 Let me go over;5674 that the men376 of Gilead1568 said559 unto him, Art thou859 an Ephraimite?673 If he said,559 Nay;3808

6 Then said559 they unto him, Say559 now4994 Shibboleth:7641 and he said559 Sibboleth:5451 for he could not3808 frame3559 to pronounce1696 it right.3651 Then they took270 him, and slew7819 him at413 the passages4569 of Jordan:3383 and there fell5307 at that1931 time6256 of the Ephraimites4480 669 forty705 and two8147 thousand.505

7 And Jephthah3316 judged8199 853 Israel3478 six8337 years.8141 Then died4191 Jephthah3316 the Gileadite,1569 and was buried6912 in one of the cities5892 of Gilead.1568

10 Then died4191 Ibzan,78 and was buried6912 at Bethlehem.1035

11 And after310 him Elon,356 a Zebulonite,2075 judged8199 853 Israel;3478 and he judged8199 853 Israel3478 ten6235 years.8141
