Judges 12:1-14

12:1

And the men
<0376>

of Ephraim
<0669>

gathered themselves together
<06817> (8735)_,

and went
<05674> (8799)

northward
<06828>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jephthah
<03316>_,

Wherefore passedst thou over
<05674> (8804)

to fight
<03898> (8736)

against the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_,

and didst not call
<07121> (8804)

us to go
<03212> (8800)

with thee? we will burn
<08313> (8799)

thine house
<01004>

upon thee with fire
<0784>_.

{gathered...: Heb. were called}

12:2

And Jephthah
<03316>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, I and my people
<05971>

were
<01961> (8804)

at great
<03966>

strife
<0376> <07379>

with the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_;

and when I called
<02199> (8799)

you, ye delivered
<03467> (8689)

me not out of their hands
<03027>_.

12:3

And when I saw
<07200> (8799)

that ye delivered
<03467> (8688)

[me] not, I put
<07760> (8799)

my life
<05315>

in my hands
<03709>_,

and passed over
<05674> (8799)

against the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_,

and the LORD
<03068>

delivered
<05414> (8799)

them into my hand
<03027>_:

wherefore then are ye come up
<05927> (8804)

unto me this day
<03117>_,

to fight
<03898> (8736)

against me?

12:4

Then Jephthah
<03316>

gathered together
<06908> (8799)

all the men
<0582>

of Gilead
<01568>_,

and fought
<03898> (8735)

with Ephraim
<0669>_:

and the men
<0582>

of Gilead
<01568>

smote
<05221> (8686)

Ephraim
<0669>_,

because they said
<0559> (8804)_,

Ye Gileadites
<01568>

[are] fugitives
<06412>

of Ephraim
<0669>

among
<08432>

the Ephraimites
<0669>_,

[and] among
<08432>

the Manassites
<04519>_.

12:5

And the Gileadites
<01568>

took
<03920> (8799)

the passages
<04569>

of Jordan
<03383>

before the Ephraimites
<0669>_:

and it was [so], that when those Ephraimites
<0669>

which were escaped
<06412>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let me go over
<05674> (8799)_;

that the men
<0582>

of Gilead
<01568>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, [Art] thou an Ephraimite
<0673>_?

If he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Nay;

12:6

Then said
<0559> (8799)

they unto him, Say
<0559> (8798)

now Shibboleth
<07641>_:

and he said
<0559> (8799)

Sibboleth
<05451>_:

for he could not frame
<03559> (0)

to pronounce
<01696> (8763)

[it] right
<03559> (8686)_.

Then they took
<0270> (8799)

him, and slew
<07819> (8799)

him at the passages
<04569>

of Jordan
<03383>_:

and there fell
<05307> (8799)

at that time
<06256>

of the Ephraimites
<0669>

forty
<0705>

and two
<08147>

thousand
<0505>_.

12:7

And Jephthah
<03316>

judged
<08199> (8799)

Israel
<03478>

six
<08337>

<08141>_.

Then died
<04191> (8799)

Jephthah
<03316>

the Gileadite
<01569>_,

and was buried
<06912> (8735)

in [one of] the cities
<05892>

of Gilead
<01568>_.

12:8

And after
<0310>

him Ibzan
<078>

of Bethlehem
<01035>

judged
<08199> (8799)

Israel
<03478>_.

12:9

And he had thirty
<07970>

sons
<01121>_,

and thirty
<07970>

daughters
<01323>_,

[whom] he sent
<07971> (8765)

abroad
<02351>_,

and took
<0935> (8689)

in thirty
<07970>

daughters
<01323>

from abroad
<02351>

for his sons
<01121>_.

And he judged
<08199> (8799)

Israel
<03478>

seven
<07651>

years
<08141>_.

12:10

Then died
<04191> (8799)

Ibzan
<078>_,

and was buried

<0310>

him Elon
<0356>_,

a Zebulonite
<02075>_,

judged
<08199> (8799)

and he judged
<08199> (8799)

Israel
<03478>

ten
<06235>

years
<08141>_.

12:12

And Elon
<0356>

the Zebulonite
<02075>

died
<04191> (8799)_,

and was buried
<06912> (8735)

in Aijalon
<0357>

in the country
<0776>

of Zebulun
<02074>_.

<0310>

him Abdon
<05658>

the son
<01121>

of Hillel
<01985>_,

a Pirathonite
<06553>_,

judged
<08199> (8799)

Israel
<03478>_.
