Now Jephthah
the Gileadite
was a mighty man
of valour,
and he was the son
of an harlot:
and Gilead
begat
Jephthah.
And 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.

And it came to pass in process of time,
that the children

made war

And it was so, that when the children

made war
against Israel,
the elders
of Gilead
went
to fetch
Jephthah
out of the land
of Tob:

And said
unto him, Thus saith
Jephthah,
Israel

But when Israel

Then Israel

saying,
Let me, I pray thee, pass through

of Edom

thereto. And in like manner they sent
unto the king
of Moab:
but he would
not consent: and Israel
abode
