And Jephthahh3316 senth7971h8799 messengersh4397 unto the kingh4428 of the childrenh1121 of Ammonh5983, sayingh559h8800, What hast thou to do with me, that thou art comeh935h8804 against me to fighth3898h8736 in my landh776?

13

And the kingh4428 of the childrenh1121 of Ammonh5983 answeredh559h8799 unto the messengersh4397 of Jephthahh3316, Because Israelh3478 took awayh3947h8804 my landh776, when they came uph5927h8800 out of Egypth4714, from Arnonh769 even unto Jabbokh2999, and unto Jordanh3383: now therefore restore those lands againh7725h8685 peaceablyh7965.

And Jephthahh3316 senth7971h8799 messengersh4397 againh3254h8686 unto the kingh4428 of the childrenh1121 of Ammonh5983:

15

And saidh559h8799 unto him, Thus saithh559h8804 Jephthahh3316, Israelh3478 took not awayh3947h8804 the landh776 of Moabh4124, nor the landh776 of the childrenh1121 of Ammonh5983:

16

But when Israelh3478 came uph5927h8800 from Egypth4714, and walkedh3212h8799 through the wildernessh4057 unto the Redh5488 seah3220, and cameh935h8799 to Kadeshh6946;

17

Then Israelh3478 senth7971h8799 messengersh4397 unto the kingh4428 of Edomh123, sayingh559h8800, Let me, I pray thee, pass throughh5674h8799 thy landh776: but the kingh4428 of Edomh123 would not hearkenh8085h8804 thereto . And in like manner they senth7971h8804 unto the kingh4428 of Moabh4124: but he wouldh14h8804 not consent : and Israelh3478 abodeh3427h8799 in Kadeshh6946.

18

Then they went alongh3212h8799 through the wildernessh4057, and compassedh5437h8799 the landh776 of Edomh123, and the landh776 of Moabh4124, and cameh935h8799 by the east sideh4217h8121 of the landh776 of Moabh4124, and pitchedh2583h8799 on the other sideh5676 of Arnonh769, but cameh935h8804 not within the borderh1366 of Moabh4124: for Arnonh769 was the borderh1366 of Moabh4124.

19

And Israelh3478 senth7971h8799 messengersh4397 unto Sihonh5511 kingh4428 of the Amoritesh567, the kingh4428 of Heshbonh2809; and Israelh3478 saidh559h8799 unto him, Let us passh5674h8799, we pray thee, through thy landh776 intoh5704 my placeh4725.

20

But Sihonh5511 trustedh539h8689 not Israelh3478 to passh5674h8800 through his coasth1366: but Sihonh5511 gatheredh622 all his peopleh5971 togetherh622h8799, and pitchedh2583h8799 in Jahazh3096, and foughth3898h8735 against Israelh3478.

21

And the LORDh3068 Godh430 of Israelh3478 deliveredh5414h8799 Sihonh5511 and all his peopleh5971 into the handh3027 of Israelh3478, and they smoteh5221h8686 them: so Israelh3478 possessedh3423h8799 all the landh776 of the Amoritesh567, the inhabitantsh3427h8802 of that countryh776.

22

And they possessedh3423h8799 all the coastsh1366 of the Amoritesh567, from Arnonh769 even unto Jabbokh2999, and from the wildernessh4057 even unto Jordanh3383.

23

So now the LORDh3068 Godh430 of Israelh3478 hath dispossessedh3423h8689 the Amoritesh567 from beforeh6440 his peopleh5971 Israelh3478, and shouldest thou possessh3423h8799 it?

24

Wilt not thou possessh3423h8799 that which Chemoshh3645 thy godh430 giveth thee to possessh3423h8686? So whomsoever the LORDh3068 our Godh430 shall drive outh3423h8689 from beforeh6440 us, them will we possessh3423h8799.

25

And now art thou any thing betterh2896 than Balakh1111 the sonh1121 of Zipporh6834, kingh4428 of Moabh4124? did he everh7378h8800 striveh7378h8804 against Israelh3478, or did he everh3898h8736 fighth3898h8738 against them,

26

While Israelh3478 dwelth3427h8800 in Heshbonh2809 and her townsh1323, and in Aroerh6177 and her townsh1323, and in all the citiesh5892 that be along by the coastsh3027 of Arnonh769, threeh7969 hundredh3967 yearsh8141? why therefore did ye not recoverh5337h8689 them within that timeh6256?

27

Wherefore I have not sinnedh2398h8804 against thee, but thou doesth6213h8802h853 me wrongh7451 to warh3898h8736 against me: the LORDh3068 the Judgeh8199h8802 be judgeh8199h8799 this dayh3117 between the childrenh1121 of Israelh3478 and the childrenh1121 of Ammonh5983.

28

Howbeit the kingh4428 of the childrenh1121 of Ammonh5983 hearkenedh8085h8804 not unto the wordsh1697 of Jephthahh3316 which he senth7971h8804 him.

29

Then the Spirith7307 of the LORDh3068 came upon Jephthahh3316, and he passed overh5674h8799 Gileadh1568, and Manassehh4519, and passed overh5674h8799 Mizpehh4708 of Gileadh1568, and from Mizpehh4708 of Gileadh1568 he passed overh5674h8804 unto the childrenh1121 of Ammonh5983.

30

And Jephthahh3316 vowedh5087h8799 a vowh5088 unto the LORDh3068, and saidh559h8799, If thou shalt without failh5414h8800 deliverh5414h8799 the childrenh1121 of Ammonh5983 into mine handsh3027,

31

Then it shall be, that whatsoeverh3318h8802 cometh forthh3318h8799 of the doorsh1817 of my househ1004 to meeth7125h8800 me, when I returnh7725h8800 in peaceh7965 from the childrenh1121 of Ammonh5983, shall surely be the LORD'Sh3068, and I will offer it uph5927h8689 for a burnt offeringh5930. whatsoever...: Heb. that which cometh forth, which shall come forth

32

So Jephthahh3316 passed overh5674h8799 unto the childrenh1121 of Ammonh5983 to fighth3898h8736 against them; and the LORDh3068 deliveredh5414h8799 them into his handsh3027.

33

And he smoteh5221h8686 them from Aroerh6177, even till thou comeh935h8800 to Minnithh4511, even twentyh6242 citiesh5892, and unto the plainh58 of the vineyardsh3754h8677h64, with a veryh3966 greath1419 slaughterh4347.

And Jephthahh3316 cameh935h8799 to Mizpehh4709 unto his househ1004, and, behold, his daughterh1323 came outh3318h8802 to meeth7125h8800 him with timbrelsh8596 and with dancesh4246: and she was his only childh3173; beside her he had neither sonh1121 norh176 daughterh1323. beside...: or, he had not of his own either son or daughter: Heb. of himself

35

And it came to pass, when he sawh7200h8800 her, that he renth7167h8799 his clothesh899, and saidh559h8799, Alash162, my daughterh1323! thou hast broughth3766 me veryh3766h8689 lowh3766h8687, and thou art one of them that troubleh5916h8802 me: for I have openedh6475h8804 my mouthh6310 unto the LORDh3068, and I cannoth3201h8799 go backh7725h8800.

36

And she saidh559h8799 unto him, My fatherh1, if thou hast openedh6475h8804 thy mouthh6310 unto the LORDh3068, doh6213h8798 to me according to that whichh834 hath proceededh3318h8804 out of thy mouthh6310; forasmuchh310 as the LORDh3068 hath takenh6213h8804 vengeanceh5360 for thee of thine enemiesh341h8802, even of the childrenh1121 of Ammonh5983.

37

And she saidh559h8799 unto her fatherh1, Let this thingh1697 be doneh6213h8735 for me: let me aloneh7503h8685 twoh8147 monthsh2320, that I may go uph3212h8799 and downh3381h8804 upon the mountainsh2022, and bewailh1058h8799 my virginityh1331, I and my fellowsh7464h8675h7474. go up...: Heb. go and go down

38

And he saidh559h8799, Goh3212h8798. And he sent her awayh7971h8799 for twoh8147 monthsh2320: and she wenth3212h8799 with her companionsh7464, and bewailedh1058h8799 her virginityh1331 upon the mountainsh2022.

39

And it came to pass at the endh7093 of twoh8147 monthsh2320, that she returnedh7725h8799 unto her fatherh1, who didh6213h8799 with her according to his vowh5088 which he had vowedh5087h8804: and she knewh3045h8804 no manh376. And it was a customh2706 in Israelh3478, custom: or, ordinance
