And Jephthah°
said°°
unto°
the elders°
of Gilead,°
If°
ye°
bring me home again°°°
to fight°°
against the children°

|
11:13
And the king°
of the children°
of Ammon°
answered°°
unto°
the messengers°
of Jephthah,°
Because°
Israel°
took away°°°
my land,°
when they came up°°
out of Egypt,°°
from Arnon°°
even unto°
Jabbok,°
and unto°
Jordan:°
now°
therefore restore those [lands] again°°°
peaceably.° |
|
11:14
And Jephthah sent messengers again unto the king of the children of Ammon; |
|
11:14
And Jephthah°
sent°°
messengers°
again°°°
unto°
the king°
of the children°
of Ammon:° |
|
11:15
and he said unto him, Thus saith Jephthah: Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon, |
|
11:15
And said°°
unto him, Thus°
saith°°
Jephthah,°
Israel°
took not away°°°°
the land°
of Moab,°
nor the land°
of the children°
of Ammon:° |
|
11:16
but when they came up from Egypt, and Israel went through the wilderness unto the Red Sea, and came to Kadesh; |
|
11:16
But°
when Israel°
came up°°
from Egypt,°°
and walked°°°
through the wilderness°
unto°
the Red°
sea,°
and came°°
to Kadesh;° |
|
11:17
then Israel sent messengers unto the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, pass through thy land; but the king of Edom hearkened not. And in like manner he sent unto the king of Moab; but he would not: and Israel abode in Kadesh. |
|
11:17
Then Israel°
sent°°
messengers°
unto°
the king°
of Edom,°
saying,°°
Let me, I pray thee,°
pass°
through°°
thy land:°
but the king°
of Edom°
would not°
hearken°°
[thereto]. And in like manner°
they sent°°
unto°
the king°
of Moab:°
but he would°°
not°
[consent]: and Israel°
abode°°
in Kadesh.° |
|
11:18
Then they went through the wilderness, and went around the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and they encamped on the other side of the Arnon; but they came not within the border of Moab, for the Arnon was the border of Moab. |
|
11:18
Then they went along°°°
through the wilderness,°
and compassed°°°
the land°
of Edom,°
and the land°
of Moab,°
and came°°
by the east side°°°
of the land°
of Moab,°
and pitched°°
on the other side°
of Arnon,°
but came°°
not°
within the border°
of Moab:°
for°
Arnon°
[was] the border°
of Moab.° |
|
11:19
And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said unto him, Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land unto my place. |
|
11:19
And Israel°
sent°°
messengers°
unto°
Sihon°
king°
of the Amorites,°
the king°
of Heshbon;°
and Israel°
said°°
unto him, Let us pass,°°
we pray thee,°
through thy land°
into°
my place.° |
|
11:20
But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his border; but Sihon gathered all his people together, and encamped in Jahaz, and fought against Israel. |
|
11:20
But Sihon°
trusted°°
not°°
Israel°
to pass°°
through his coast:°
but Sihon°
gathered°°
all his people°
together,°°°°°
and pitched°°
in Jahaz,°
and fought°°
against°
Israel.° |
|
11:21
And Jehovah, the God of Israel, delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote them: so Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country. |
|
11:21
And the LORD°
God°
of Israel°
delivered°°°
Sihon°
and all°
his people°
into the hand°
of Israel,°
and they smote°°
them: so Israel°
possessed°°°
all°
the land°
of the Amorites,°
the inhabitants°°
of that°
country.° |
|
11:22
And they possessed all the border of the Amorites, from the Arnon even unto the Jabbok, and from the wilderness even unto the Jordan. |
|
11:22
And they possessed°°°
all°
the coasts°
of the Amorites,°
from Arnon°°
even unto°
Jabbok,°
and from°
the wilderness°
even unto°
Jordan.° |
|
11:23
So now Jehovah, the God of Israel, hath dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and shouldest thou possess them? |
|
11:23
So now°
the LORD°
God°
of Israel°
hath dispossessed°°°
the Amorites°
from before°°
his people°
Israel,°
and shouldest thou°
possess°°
it? |
|
11:24
Wilt not thou possess that which Chemosh thy god giveth thee to possess? So whomsoever Jehovah our God hath dispossessed from before us, them will we possess. |
|
11:24
Wilt not°
thou possess°°°
that which°
Chemosh°
thy god°
giveth thee to possess?°°
So whomsoever°°
the LORD°
our God°
shall drive out°°
from before°°
us, them will we possess.°° |
|
11:25
And now art thou anything better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them? |
|
11:25
And now°
[art] thou°
any thing better°
than Balak°°
the son°
of Zippor,°
king°
of Moab?°
did he ever°°
strive°°
against°
Israel,°
or°
did he ever°°
fight°°
against them, |
|
11:26
While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and its towns, and in Aroer and its towns, and in all the cities that are along by the side of the Arnon, three hundred years; wherefore did ye not recover them within that time? |
|
11:26
While Israel°
dwelt°°
in Heshbon°
and her towns,°
and in Aroer°
and her towns,°
and in all°
the cities°
that°
[be] along by°
the coasts°
of Arnon,°
three°
hundred°
years?°
why°
therefore did ye not°
recover°°
[them] within that°
time?° |
|
11:27
I therefore have not sinned against thee, but thou doest me wrong to war against me: Jehovah, the Judge, be judge this day between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon. |
|
11:27
Wherefore I°
have not°
sinned°°
against thee, but thou°
doest°°°
me wrong°
to war°°
against me: the LORD°
the Judge°°
be judge°°
this day°
between°
the children°
of Israel°
and the children°
of Ammon.° |
|
11:28
Howbeit the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not unto the words of Jephthah which he sent him. |
|
11:28
Howbeit the king°
of the children°
of Ammon°
hearkened°°
not°
unto°
the words°
of Jephthah°
which°
he sent°°°
him. |
|
11:29 ¶
Then the Spirit of Jehovah came upon Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over unto the children of Ammon. |
|
11:29 ¶
Then the Spirit°
of the LORD°
came°
upon°
Jephthah,°
and he passed over°°°
Gilead,°
and Manasseh,°
and passed over°°°
Mizpeh°
of Gilead,°
and from Mizpeh°°
of Gilead°
he passed over°°
[unto] the children°
of Ammon.° |
|
11:30
And Jephthah vowed a vow unto Jehovah, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver the children of Ammon into my hand, |
|
11:30
And Jephthah°
vowed°°
a vow°
unto the LORD,°
and said,°°
If°
thou shalt without fail°°
deliver°°°
the children°
of Ammon°
into mine hands,° |
|
11:31
then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth from the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, it shall be Jehovah's, and I will offer it up for a burnt-offering. |
|
11:31
Then it shall be,°
that whatsoever°°°
cometh forth°°
of the doors°°
of my house°
to meet°°
me, when I return°°
in peace°
from the children°°
of Ammon,°
shall surely be°
the LORD'S,°
and I will offer it up°°
for a burnt offering.° |
|
11:32 ¶
So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against them; and Jehovah delivered them into his hand. |
|
11:32 ¶
So Jephthah°
passed over°°
unto°
the children°
of Ammon°
to fight°°
against them; and the LORD°
delivered°°
them into his hands.° |
|
11:33
And he smote them from Aroer until thou come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and unto Abelcheramim, with a very great slaughter. So the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel. |
|
11:33
And he smote°°
them from Aroer,°°
even till°
thou come°°
to Minnith,°
[even] twenty°
cities,°
and unto°
the plain°
of the vineyards,°°°
with a very°
great°
slaughter.°
Thus the children°
of Ammon°
were subdued°°
before°°
the children°
of Israel.° |

And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! thou hast brought me very low, and thou art one of them that trouble me; for I have opened my mouth unto Jehovah, and I cannot go back. |
|
11:35
And it came to pass,°
when he saw°°

his clothes,°
and said,°°
Alas,°
my daughter!°
thou hast brought°°

go back.°° |
|
11:36
And she said unto him, My father, thou hast opened thy mouth unto Jehovah; do unto me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth, forasmuch as Jehovah hath taken vengeance for thee on thine enemies, even on the children of Ammon. |
|
11:36
And she said°°
unto°
him, My father,°
[if] thou hast opened°°°
thy mouth°
unto°
the LORD,°
do°°
to me according to that which°
