Jephthah

1 Now aJephthah the Gileadite was ba mighty man of valor, but he was the son of a harlot; and Gilead begot Jephthah.  
2 Gilead’s wife bore sons; and when his wife’s sons grew up, they drove Jephthah out, and said to him, “You shall have ano inheritance in our father’s house, for you are the son of another woman.”  
3 Then Jephthah fled from his brothers and dwelt in the land of aTob; and bworthless men banded together with Jephthah and went out raiding with him.  
4 It came to pass after a time that the apeople of Ammon made war against Israel.

Judges 11:2

Thou shalt not inherit in our father's house—As there were children by the legitimate wife, the son of the secondary one was not entitled to any share of the patrimony, and the prior claim of the others was indisputable. Hence, as the brothers of Jephthah seem to have resorted to rude and violent treatment, they must have been influenced by some secret ill-will.
