Book 07 : JUDGES - Chapter 012
012:001
And Jephthah said unto them, I and my people were at great
strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, ye
delivered me not out of their hands
012:002
And when I saw that ye delivered me not, I put my life in my
hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the
LORD delivered them into my hand: wherefore then are ye come
up unto me this day, to fight against me
012:003
Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and
fought with Ephraim: and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim,
because they said, Ye Gileadites are fugitives of Ephraim
among the Ephraimites, and among the Manassites
012:004
And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the
Ephraimites: and it was so, that when those Ephraimites which
were escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said
unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay
012:005
Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said
Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce it right. Then
they took him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan: and
there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two
thousand
012:006
And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then died Jephthah the
Gileadite, and was buried in one of the cities of Gilead
012:007
And after him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel
012:008
And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters, whom he sent
abroad, and took in thirty daughters from abroad for his sons.
And he judged Israel seven years
012:009
Then died Ibzan, and was buried at Bethlehem
012:010
And after him Elon, a Zebulonite, judged Israel; and he judged
Israel ten years
012:011
And Elon the Zebulonite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the
country of Zebulun
012:012
And after him Abdon the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged
Israel
012:013
And he had forty sons and thirty nephews, that rode on
threescore and ten ass colts: and he judged Israel eight
years
012:014
And Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was
buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the mount of the
Amalekites
