1 And the men H376 NMS of Ephraim H669 gathered themselves together H6817 , and went H5674 northward H6828 , and said H559 W-VQY3MP unto Jephthah H3316 , Wherefore H4069 IPRO passedst thou over H5674 to fight H3898 against the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 , and didst not H3808 NADV call H7121 us to go H1980 L-VQFC with H5973 PREP-2FS thee ? we will burn H8313 thine house H1004 CMS-2MS upon H5921 PREP-2MS thee with fire H784 .
2 And Jephthah H3316 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MP them , I H589 PPRO-1MS and my people H5971 were H1961 VQQ1MS at great strife H376 NMS with the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 ; and when I called H2199 you , ye delivered H3467 me not H3808 W-NPAR out of their hands H3027 .
3 And when I saw H7200 that H3588 CONJ ye delivered H3467 me not H369 , I put H7760 my life H5315 CFS-1MS in my hands H3709 , and passed over H5674 against H413 PREP the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 , and the LORD H3068 EDS delivered H5414 them into my hand H3027 B-CFS-1MS : wherefore H4100 then are ye come up H5927 unto H413 PREP me this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS , to fight H3898 against me ?
4 Then Jephthah H3316 gathered together H6908 all H3605 NMS the men H376 CMP of Gilead H1568 , and fought H3898 with H854 PREP Ephraim H669 : and the men H376 CMP of Gilead H1568 smote H5221 W-VHY3MP Ephraim H669 , because H3588 CONJ they said H559 VQQ3MP , Ye H859 PPRO-2MS Gileadites H1568 are fugitives H6412 of Ephraim H669 among H8432 B-NMS the Ephraimites H669 , and among H8432 B-NMS the Manassites H4519 .
5 And the Gileadites H1568 took H3920 the passages H4569 of Jordan H3383 D-EFS before the Ephraimites H669 : and it was H1961 W-VQQ3MS so , that when H3588 CONJ those Ephraimites H669 which were escaped H6412 said H559 VQY3MP , Let me go over H5674 ; that the men H376 of Gilead H1568 said H559 W-VQY3MP unto him , Art thou H859 PPRO-2MS an Ephraimite H673 ? If he said H559 , Nay H3808 UNKN ;
6 Then said H559 W-VQY3MS they unto him , Say H559 W-VQY3MS now H4994 IJEC Shibboleth H7641 CFS : and he said H559 W-VQY3MS Sibboleth H5451 : for he could not H3808 W-NPAR frame H3559 VHY3MS to pronounce H1696 it right H3651 ADV . Then they took H270 him , and slew H7819 him at H413 PREP the passages H4569 of Jordan H3383 D-EFS : and there fell H5307 W-VQY3MS at that H1931 time H6256 of the Ephraimites H669 forty H705 MMP and two H8147 thousand H505 MMS .
7 And Jephthah H3316 judged H8199 Israel H3478 six H8337 RFS years H8141 NFP . Then died H4191 W-VQY3MS Jephthah H3316 the Gileadite H1569 , and was buried H6912 in one of the cities H5892 B-CFP of Gilead H1568 .
8 And after H310 him Ibzan H78 of Bethlehem H1035 judged H8199 Israel H3478 .
9 And he had H1961 W-VQY3MS thirty H7970 MMP sons H1121 NMP , and thirty H7970 W-MMP daughters H1323 , whom he sent H7971 VPQ3MS abroad H2351 , and took in H935 VHQ3MS thirty H7970 W-MMP daughters H1323 from H4480 PREP abroad H2351 for his sons H1121 L-CMP-3MS . And he judged H8199 Israel H3478 seven H7651 MFS years H8141 .
10 Then died H4191 W-VQY3MS Ibzan H78 , and was buried H6912 at Bethlehem H1035 .
11 And after H310 him Elon H356 , a Zebulonite H2075 , judged H8199 Israel H3478 ; and he judged H8199 Israel H3478 ten H6235 MFS years H8141 .
12 And Elon H356 the Zebulonite H2075 died H4191 W-VQY3MS , and was buried H6912 in Aijalon H357 in the country H776 B-GFS of Zebulun H2075 .
13 And after H310 PREP-3MS him Abdon H5658 the son H1121 of Hillel H1985 , a Pirathonite H6553 , judged H8199 Israel H3478 .
14 And he had H1961 W-VQY3MS forty H705 MMP sons H1121 NMP and thirty H7970 W-MMP nephews H1121 NMP , that rode H7392 on H5921 PREP threescore and ten H7657 ONUM ass colts H5895 : and he judged H8199 Israel H3478 eight H8083 MFS years H8141 .
15 And Abdon H5658 the son H1121 of Hillel H1985 the Pirathonite H6553 died H4191 W-VQY3MS , and was buried H6912 in Pirathon H6552 in the land H776 B-GFS of Ephraim H669 , in the mount H2022 of the Amalekites H6003 .
