Judges 11:5-7

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁵ When the Ammonites attacked Israel, Gilead’s leaders went to get Jephthah from the land of Tob. ⁶ They said to Jephthah, “Come and be our commander so that we can wage war against Ammon.”

⁷ But Jephthah replied to Gilead’s leaders, “Don’t you hate me? Didn’t you throw me out of my father’s house? So why are you coming to me now when you’re in trouble?”
