Judges 11:6-8

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁶ They said to him, ‘Come, be our commander, and let’s fight the Ammonites.’

⁷ Jephthah replied to the elders of Gilead, ‘Didn’t you hate me and drive me out of my father’s family? Why then have you come to me now when you’re in trouble? ’

⁸ They answered Jephthah, ‘That’s true. But now we turn to you. Come with us, fight the Ammonites, and you will become leader of all the inhabitants of Gilead.’
