When his wife’s sons grew up, they made Jephthah leave and said to him, “You are not going to inherit any of our father’s wealth, ³  because you are another woman’s son.” 11:3 So Jephthah left ⁴  his half-brothers ⁵  and lived in the land of Tob. Lawless men joined Jephthah’s gang and traveled with him. ⁶
