Judges 11:6-8

Living Bible

⁶ begging him to come and lead their army against the Ammonites.

⁷ But Jephthah said to them, “Why do you come to me when you hate me and have driven me out of my father’s house? Why come now when you’re in trouble?”

⁸ “Because we need you,” they replied. “If you will be our commander-in-chief against the Ammonites, we will make you the king of Gilead.”
