1And the men376 of Ephraim669 gathered themselves together6817, and went5674 northward6828, and said559 unto Jephthah3316, Wherefore passedst thou over5674 to fight3898 against the children1121 of Ammon5983, and didst not call7121 us to go3212 with thee? we will burn8313 thine house1004 upon thee with fire784.
2And Jephthah3316 said559 unto them, I and my people5971 were1961 at great3966 strife376 7379 with the children1121 of Ammon5983; and when I called2199 you, ye delivered3467 me not out of their hands3027.
3And when I saw7200 that ye delivered3467 me not, I put7760 my life5315 in my hands3709, and passed over5674 against the children1121 of Ammon5983, and the LORD3068 delivered5414 them into my hand3027: wherefore then are ye come up5927 unto me this day3117, to fight3898 against me?
4Then Jephthah3316 gathered together6908 all the men582 of Gilead1568, and fought3898 with Ephraim669: and the men582 of Gilead1568 smote5221 Ephraim669, because they said559, Ye Gileadites1568 are fugitives6412 of Ephraim669 among8432 the Ephraimites669, and among8432 the Manassites4519.
5And the Gileadites1568 took3920 the passages4569 of Jordan3383 before the Ephraimites669: and it was so, that when those Ephraimites669 which were escaped6412 said559, Let me go over5674; that the men582 of Gilead1568 said559 unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite673? If he said559, Nay;
6Then said559 they unto him, Say559 now Shibboleth7641: and he said559 Sibboleth5451: for he could not frame3559 to pronounce1696 it right3559. Then they took270 him, and slew7819 him at the passages4569 of Jordan3383: and there fell5307 at that time6256 of the Ephraimites669 forty705 and two8147 thousand505.
7And Jephthah3316 judged8199 Israel3478 six8337 years8141. Then died4191 Jephthah3316 the Gileadite1569, and was buried6912 in one of the cities5892 of Gilead1568.
8And after310 him Ibzan78 of Bethlehem1035 judged8199 Israel3478.
9And he had thirty7970 sons1121, and thirty7970 daughters1323, whom he sent7971 abroad2351, and took935 in thirty7970 daughters1323 from abroad2351 for his sons1121. And he judged8199 Israel3478 seven7651 years8141.
10Then died4191 Ibzan78, and was buried6912 at Bethlehem1035.
11And after310 him Elon356, a Zebulonite2075, judged8199 Israel3478; and he judged8199 Israel3478 ten6235 years8141.
12And Elon356 the Zebulonite2075 died4191, and was buried6912 in Aijalon357 in the country776 of Zebulun2074.
13And after310 him Abdon5658 the son1121 of Hillel1985, a Pirathonite6553, judged8199 Israel3478.
14And he had forty705 sons1121 and thirty7970 nephews1121 1121, that rode7392 on threescore and ten7657 ass colts5895: and he judged8199 Israel3478 eight8083 years8141.
15And Abdon5658 the son1121 of Hillel1985 the Pirathonite6553 died4191, and was buried6912 in Pirathon6552 in the land776 of Ephraim669, in the mount2022 of the Amalekites6003.
