Juges 12

1And the men^H376 of Ephraim^H669 were gathered together^H6817, and passed^H5674 northward^H6828; and they said^H559 unto Jephthah^H3316, Wherefore passedst thou over^H5674 to fight^H3898 against the children^H1121 of Ammon^H5983, and didst not call^H7121 us to go^H3212 with thee? we will burn^H8313 thy house^H1004 upon thee with fire^H784. 2And Jephthah^H3316 said^H559 unto them, I and my people^H5971 were^H1961 at great^H3966 strife^H376 with the children^H1121 of Ammon^H5983; and when I called^H2199 you, ye saved^H3467 me not out of their hand^H3027. 3And when I saw^H7200 that ye saved^H3467 me not, I put^H7760 my life^H5315 in my hand^H3709, and passed over^H5674 against the children^H1121 of Ammon^H5983, and Jehovah^H3068 delivered^H5414 them into my hand^H3027: wherefore then are ye come up^H5927 unto me this day^H3117, to fight^H3898 against me? 4Then Jephthah^H3316 gathered together^H6908 all the men^H582 of Gilead^H1568, and fought^H3898 with Ephraim^H669; and the men^H582 of Gilead^H1568 smote^H5221 Ephraim^H669, because they said^H559, Ye are fugitives^H6412 of Ephraim^H669, ye Gileadites^H1568, in the midst^H8432 of Ephraim^H669, and in the midst^H8432 of Manasseh^H4519. 5And the Gileadites^H1568 took^H3920 the fords^H4569 of the Jordan^H3383 against the Ephraimites^H669. And it was so, that, when any of the fugitives^H6412 of Ephraim^H669 said^H559, Let me go over^H5674, the men^H582 of Gilead^H1568 said^H559 unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite^H673? If he said^H559, Nay; 6then said^H559 they unto him, Say^H559 now Shibboleth^H7641; and he said^H559 Sibboleth^H5451; for he could not frame^H3559 to pronounce^H1696 it right^H3559: then they laid^H270 hold on him, and slew^H7819 him at the fords^H4569 of the Jordan^H3383. And there fell^H5307 at that time^H6256 of Ephraim^H669 forty^H705 and two^H8147 thousand^H505. 7And Jephthah^H3316 judged^H8199 Israel^H3478 six^H8337 years^H8141. Then died^H4191 Jephthah^H3316 the Gileadite^H1569, and was buried^H6912 in one of the cities^H5892 of Gilead^H1568. 8And after^H310 him Ibzan^H78 of Beth-lehem^H1035 judged^H8199 Israel^H3478. 9And he had thirty^H7970 sons^H1121; and thirty^H7970 daughters^H1323 he sent^H7971 abroad^H2351, and thirty^H7970 daughters^H1323 he brought^H935 in from abroad^H2351 for his sons^H1121. And he judged^H8199 Israel^H3478 seven^H7651 years^H8141. 10And Ibzan^H78 died^H4191, and was buried^H6912 at Beth-lehem^H1035. 11And after^H310 him Elon^H356 the Zebulunite^H2075 judged^H8199 Israel^H3478; and he judged^H8199 Israel^H3478 ten^H6235 years^H8141. 12And Elon^H356 the Zebulunite^H2075 died^H4191, and was buried^H6912 in Aijalon^H357 in the land^H776 of Zebulun^H2074. 13And after^H310 him Abdon^H5658 the son^H1121 of Hillel^H1985 the Pirathonite^H6553 judged^H8199 Israel^H3478. 14And he had forty^H705 sons^H1121 and thirty^H7970 sons' sons^H1121, that rode^H7392 on threescore and ten^H7657 ass colts^H5895: and he judged^H8199 Israel^H3478 eight^H8083 years^H8141. 15And Abdon^H5658 the son^H1121 of Hillel^H1985 the Pirathonite^H6553 died^H4191, and was buried^H6912 in Pirathon^H6552 in the land^H776 of Ephraim^H669, in the hill-country^H2022 of the Amalekites^H6003.
