Judges 12:2-4

Lexham English Bible

² And Jephthah said to them, “I and my people were engaged in great conflict with the Ammonites;^[a] I called you, but you did not deliver me from their hand. ³ I saw that you would not deliver us; I risked my own life,^[b] and I crossed over to the Ammonites,^[c] and Yahweh gave them into my hand. Why have you come up to me this day to fight against me?” ⁴ Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead, and he made war with Ephraim; and the men of Gilead defeated Ephraim because they said, “You are fugitives of Ephraim, you Gileadites, in the midst of Ephraim and Manasseh.”
