Judges 11:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Judges 11:2

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.

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.
