Judges 11:6-8

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁶ They said to Jephthah, “Come and be our chief, and we will wage war against the Ammonites.”

⁷ But Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, “Didn’t you hate me and drive me out of the house of my father? So why do you come to me now, when you are in trouble?”

⁸ The elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, “That is true, but now we have returned to you. Go with us and wage war against the Ammonites, and you will be the head over us and over everyone who lives in Gilead.”
