And
the men of Ephraim were
gathered
together,
and
passed
northward;
and they said unto
Jephthah, Wherefore
passedst
thou
over to fight against
the children
of
Ammon,
and
didst
not
call
us to go with thee
? we will burn thy
house upon
thee
with fire.
Then
the men of Ephraim assembled
and crossed
the
Jordan
to
Zaphon.
They said to
Jephthah, “Why
have
you
crossed
over to fight the Ammonites
without
calling
us to go with you
? We will burn your
house down
with you
inside!”
And
Jephthah said
unto
them
, I
and
my people were
at
great
strife
with the children
of
Ammon;
and when I called you
, ye
saved
me
not out of their hand
.
But
Jephthah replied
, “
My people and
I
had
a
serious
conflict
with the Ammonites,
and when I called, you
did
not save
me
out of their hands
.
And
when I saw that ye
saved
me
not, I put
my life in
my
hand,
and passed
over against
the children
of
Ammon
, and Jehovah
delivered them into my hand :
wherefore
then are
ye
come up
unto
me
this
day,
to fight against me?
When I saw that you
would
not save
me
, I risked
my life and crossed
over to
the Ammonites
, and the
LORD
delivered them into my hand .
Why
then have
you
come today
to fight against me? ”
Then
Jephthah gathered together
all the men of Gilead ,
and fought with
Ephraim ;
and the men of Gilead smote
Ephraim,
because they
said, Ye
are fugitives of
Ephraim, ye
Gileadites,
in the midst
of Ephraim ,
`
and '
in
the
midst
of
Manasseh.
Jephthah then
gathered all the men of Gilead and fought against
Ephraim .
And the men of Gilead struck
them
down
because the
Ephraimites
had
said, “You
Gileadites
are fugitives in
Ephraim, living
in the territories
of Ephraim and Manasseh. ”
And
the Gileadites took
the fords of the Jordan against
the
Ephraimites.
And
it
was
so,
that
, when
`any
of'
the
fugitives
of
Ephraim said
, Let me go
over, the men
of
Gilead
said
unto
him, Art
thou
an Ephraimite? If he said
, Nay;
The Gileadites captured
the fords of the Jordan leading
to
Ephraim
, and
whenever
a
fugitive
from
Ephraim would
say
, “
Let me cross
over, ”
the Gileadites
would
ask
him, “Are
you
an Ephraimite? ”
If he answered
, “No,”
then
said
they unto
him, Say now
Shibboleth ;
and
he said Sibboleth ;
for
he could not frame
to
pronounce it right:
then
they laid
hold
on
him ,
and slew
him at the fords of the Jordan. And
there
fell
at that time of
Ephraim
forty
and
two
thousand
.
they told
him, “Please
say Shibboleth .”
If
he said ,
“
Sibboleth ,”
because
he could not pronounce it correctly,
they seized
him and killed
him at the fords of the Jordan. So
at that time 42,000
Ephraimites
were
killed
.
