Chapter 11
7
But Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, 'Did you not hate me and drive me from my father’s house? So why have you come to me now when you are in trouble?'
8
The elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, 'For this reason we have now returned to you, that you may go with us and fight the sons of Ammon, and become our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.'
9
So Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, 'If you bring me back to fight against the sons of Ammon and the
Lord
gives them up to me, will I become your head?'
10
And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, 'The
Lord
is witness between us; be assured we will do as you have said.'
11
Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and leader over them; and Jephthah spoke all his words before the
Lord
at Mizpah.
12
So Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the sons of Ammon, saying, 'What
conflict
do you and I have, that you have come to me to fight against my land?'

Lord
deliver them before me, shall I be your head?

Lord
be witness between us, if we do not so according to thy words.
