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.”  
9 So Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, “If you take me back home to fight against the people of Ammon, and the Lord delivers them to me, shall I be your head?”
10 And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, a“The Lord will be a witness between us, if we do not do according to your words.”  
11 Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him ahead and commander over them; and Jephthah spoke all his words bbefore the Lord in Mizpah.  
12 Now Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the people of Ammon, saying, a“What do you have against me, that you have come to fight against me in my land?”  
13 And the king of the people of Ammon answered the messengers of Jephthah, a“Because Israel took away my land when they came up out of Egypt, from bthe Arnon as far as cthe Jabbok, and to the Jordan. Now therefore, restore those lands peaceably.”
