1	And the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together# , and went# northward, and said# unto Jephthah, Wherefore passedst thou over# to fight# against the children of Ammon, and didst not call# us to go# with thee? we will burn# thine house upon thee with fire. [gathered...: Heb. were called]
			2	And Jephthah said# unto them, I and my people were# at great strife# with the children of Ammon; and when I called# you, ye delivered# me not out of their hands.
			3	And when I saw# that ye delivered# me not, I put# my life in my hands, and passed over# against the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivered# them into my hand: wherefore then are ye come up# unto me this day, to fight# against me?
			4	Then Jephthah gathered together# all the men of Gilead, and fought# with Ephraim: and the men of Gilead smote# Ephraim, because they said# , Ye Gileadites are fugitives of Ephraim among the Ephraimites, and among the Manassites.
			5	And the Gileadites took# the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was so , that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said# , Let me go over# ; that the men of Gilead said# unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said# , Nay;
			6	Then said# they unto him, Say# now Shibboleth: and he said# Sibboleth: for he could not frame# to pronounce# it right# . Then they took# him, and slew# him at the passages of Jordan: and there fell# at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand.
			7	And Jephthah judged# Israel six years. Then died# Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried# in one of the cities of Gilead.
			8	And after him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged# Israel.
			9	And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters, whom he sent# abroad, and took# in thirty daughters from abroad for his sons. And he judged# Israel seven years.
			10	Then died# Ibzan, and was buried# at Bethlehem.
			11	And after him Elon, a Zebulonite, judged# Israel; and he judged# Israel ten years.
			12	And Elon the Zebulonite died# , and was buried# in Aijalon in the country of Zebulun.
			13	And after him Abdon the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged# Israel.
			14	And he had forty sons and thirty nephews# , that rode# on threescore and ten ass colts: and he judged# Israel eight years. [nephews: Heb. sons' sons]
			15	And Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died# , and was buried# in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the mount of the Amalekites.
