Judges 11:12-14

Evangelical Heritage Version

Jephthah’s Negotiations With the Ammonites

¹² Then Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the Ammonites. They said, “What is the problem between me and you? Why have you come against me to wage war against my land?”

¹³ The king of the Ammonites said to Jephthah’s messengers, “The problem is that Israel took my land when they came up from Egypt, my land between the Arnon and the Jabbok and extending to the Jordan. So now return the land peacefully.”

¹⁴ Jephthah again sent messengers to the king of the Ammonites.
