Judges 11:9-11

EasyEnglish Bible

⁹ Jephthah said to them, ‘So, you are saying that I should come back home to fight with you against the Ammonites. You are saying that if the Lord gives them to me, I will be your leader. Is that really true?’

¹⁰ The leaders of Gilead said, ‘We promise to do that. The Lord will judge between us if we do not do what you have said.’ ¹¹ So Jephthah went back with them to Gilead. The people made him their ruler and leader of their army. In Mizpah, Jephthah repeated his promise to the Lord.
