Judges 12:2-4

Revised Geneva Translation

² And Jephthah said to them, “I and my people were in a great struggle with the children of Ammon. And when I called you, you did not deliver me out of their hands.

³ “So, when I saw that you did not deliver me, I put my life in my own hands, and went upon the children of Ammon. So, the LORD delivered them into my hands. Why, then, have you come upon me now to fight against me?”

⁴ Then Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and fought with Ephraim. And the men of Gilead struck Ephraim, because they said, “You Gileadites are fugitives of Ephraim among the Ephraimites and among the Manassites.”
