Judges 10:12

10:12 the Sidonians, Amalek, and Midian ¹  when they oppressed you? ²  You cried out for help to me, and I delivered you from their power. ³ 

Judges 12:2

12:2 Jephthah said to them, “My people and I were entangled in controversy with the Ammonites. ⁴  I asked for your help, but you did not deliver me from their power. ⁵ 

[10:12]  ¹ tc The translation follows the LXX which reads “Midian”; the Hebrew text has “Maon.”

[10:12]  ² tn The words “Did I not deliver you” are interpretive. The Hebrew text simply reads, “Is it not from Egypt…when they oppressed you?” Perhaps the incomplete sentence reflects the Lord’s frustration.

[10:12]  ³ tn Heb “hand.”

[12:2]  ⁴ tn Heb A man of great strife I was and my people and the Ammonites.”

[12:2]  ⁵ tn Heb “hand.”
