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.”
14 So Jephthah again sent messengers to the king of the people of Ammon,
15 and said to him, “Thus says Jephthah: a‘Israel did not take away the land of Moab, nor the land of the people of Ammon;
16 for when Israel came up from Egypt, they walked through the wilderness as far as the Red Sea and acame to Kadesh.
17 Then aIsrael sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, “Please let me pass through your land.” bBut the king of Edom would not heed. And in like manner they sent to the cking of Moab, but he would not consent. So Israel dremained in Kadesh.
