1 # And the men <0376> of Ephraim <0669> gathered themselves together <06817> (8735), and went <05674> (8799) northward <06828>, and said <0559> (8799) unto Jephthah <03316>, Wherefore passedst thou over <05674> (8804) to fight <03898> (8736) against the children <01121> of Ammon <05983>, and didst not call <07121> (8804) us to go <03212> (8800) with thee? we will burn <08313> (8799) thine house <01004> upon thee with fire <0784>.
2 And Jephthah <03316> said <0559> (8799) unto them, I and my people <05971> were <01961> (8804) at great <03966> strife <0376> <07379> with the children <01121> of Ammon <05983>; and when I called <02199> (8799) you, ye delivered <03467> (8689) me not out of their hands <03027>.
3 And when I saw <07200> (8799) that ye delivered <03467> (8688) me not, I put <07760> (8799) my life <05315> in my hands <03709>, and passed over <05674> (8799) against the children <01121> of Ammon <05983>, and the LORD <03068> delivered <05414> (8799) them into my hand <03027>: wherefore then are ye come up <05927> (8804) unto me this day <03117>, to fight <03898> (8736) against me?
4 Then Jephthah <03316> gathered together <06908> (8799) all the men <0582> of Gilead <01568>, and fought <03898> (8735) with Ephraim <0669>: and the men <0582> of Gilead <01568> smote <05221> (8686) Ephraim <0669> , because they said <0559> (8804), Ye Gileadites <01568> are fugitives <06412> of Ephraim <0669> among <08432> the Ephraimites <0669>, and among <08432> the Manassites <04519>.
5 And the Gileadites <01568> took <03920> (8799) the passages <04569> of Jordan <03383> before the Ephraimites <0669>: and it was so, that when those Ephraimites <0669> which were escaped <06412> said <0559> (8799), Let me go over <05674> (8799); that the men <0582> of Gilead <01568> said <0559> (8799) unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite <0673>? If he said <0559> (8799), Nay;
6 Then said <0559> (8799) they unto him, Say <0559> (8798) now Shibboleth <07641>: and he said <0559> (8799) Sibboleth <05451>: for he could not frame <03559> <00> to pronounce <01696> (8763) it right <03559> (8686). Then they took <0270> (8799) him, and slew <07819> (8799) him at the passages <04569> of Jordan <03383> : and there fell <05307> (8799) at that time <06256> of the Ephraimites <0669> forty <0705> and two <08147> thousand <0505> .
7 And Jephthah <03316> judged <08199> (8799) Israel <03478> six <08337> years <08141>. Then died <04191> (8799) Jephthah <03316> the Gileadite <01569>, and was buried <06912> (8735) in one of the cities <05892> of Gilead <01568>.
8 # And after <0310> him Ibzan <078> of Bethlehem <01035> judged <08199> (8799) Israel <03478>.
9 And he had thirty <07970> sons <01121>, and thirty <07970> daughters <01323>, whom he sent <07971> (8765) abroad <02351>, and took <0935> (8689) in thirty <07970> daughters <01323> from abroad <02351> for his sons <01121>. And he judged <08199> (8799) Israel <03478> seven <07651> years <08141>.
10 Then died <04191> (8799) Ibzan <078>, and was buried <06912> (8735) at Bethlehem <01035>.
11 And after <0310> him Elon <0356>, a Zebulonite <02075>, judged <08199> (8799) Israel <03478>; and he judged <08199> (8799) Israel <03478> ten <06235> years <08141>.
12 And Elon <0356> the Zebulonite <02075> died <04191> (8799), and was buried <06912> (8735) in Aijalon <0357> in the country <0776> of Zebulun <02074>.
13 And after <0310> him Abdon <05658> the son <01121> of Hillel <01985>, a Pirathonite <06553>, judged <08199> (8799) Israel <03478>.
14 And he had forty <0705> sons <01121> and thirty <07970> nephews <01121> <01121>, that rode <07392> (8802) on threescore and ten <07657> ass colts <05895>: and he judged <08199> (8799) Israel <03478> eight <08083> years <08141>.
15 And Abdon <05658> the son <01121> of Hillel <01985> the Pirathonite <06553> died <04191> (8799), and was buried <06912> (8735) in Pirathon <06552> in the land <0776> of Ephraim <0669>, in the mount <02022> of the Amalekites <06003>.
