NETBible

The leaders of Gilead said to Jephthah, “The Lord will judge any grievance you have against us, 1  if we do not do as you say.” 2 

NET Notes

1 tn Heb “The Lord will be the one who hears between us.” For the idiom שָׁמַע בַּיִן (shama’ bayin, “to hear between”), see Deut 1:16.

2 sn The Lord will judge…if we do not do as you say. The statement by the leaders of Gilead takes the form of a legally binding oath, which obligates them to the terms of the agreement.
