Judges 11:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Judges 11:6

4 It came to pass after a time that the ^apeople of Ammon made war against Israel.

5 And so it was, when the people of Ammon made war against Israel, that the elders of Gilead went to get Jephthah from the land of Tob.

6 Then they said to Jephthah, “Come and be our commander, that we may fight against the people of Ammon.”

7 So Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, ^a“Did you not hate me, and expel me from my father’s house? Why have you come to me now when you are in¹ distress?”

8 ^aAnd the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, “That is why we have ^bturned again to you now, that you may go with us and fight against the people of Ammon, and be ^cour head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.”
