¹ ¶ Then Nahash, the Ammonite, came up and encamped against Jabeshgilead.

⁸ And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, For this same reason we turn again to thee now that thou may go with us and fight against the sons of Ammon and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead. ⁹ Then Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, If ye bring me home again to fight against the sons of Ammon and the LORD delivers them before me, shall I be your head? ¹⁰ And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, Let the LORD hear between us, if we do not comply with thy words. ¹¹ Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and prince over them; and Jephthah spoke all his words before the LORD in Mizpeh. ¹² ¶ And Jephthah sent ambassadors unto the king of the sons of Ammon, saying, What hast thou to do with me that thou art come against me to fight in my land? ¹³ And the king of the sons of Ammon replied unto the ambassadors of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land, when they came up out of Egypt, from Arnon even unto Jabbok and unto the Jordan; now, therefore, restore those lands again peaceably. ¹⁴ Then Jephthah sent ambassadors again unto the king of the sons of Ammon, ¹⁵ saying unto him, Thus hath Jephthah said, Israel did not take land from Moab, nor land from the sons of Ammon, ¹⁶ but Israel came up from Egypt and walked through the wilderness unto the Red sea and came to Kadesh. ¹⁷ Then Israel sent messengers unto the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, pass through thy land. But the king of Edom would not hear them. And in like manner they sent unto the king of Moab, but he would not consent either; therefore Israel abode in Kadesh. ¹⁸ Then they went along through the wilderness and went around the land of Edom and the land of Moab and came by the side of the rising of the sun to the land of Moab; they pitched their camp on the other side of Arnon and did not enter within the border of Moab, for Arnon was the border of Moab. ¹⁹ And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon, king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said unto him, Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land into my place. ²⁰ But Sihon did not trust Israel to pass through his border; but Sihon gathered all his people together and pitched camp in Jahaz and fought against Israel. ²¹ But the LORD God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote them; so Israel possessed all the land of the Amorite that inhabited that land. ²² And they possessed all the border of the Amorites from Arnon even unto Jabbok and from the wilderness even unto the Jordan. ²³ So now the LORD God of Israel has expelled the Amorites from before his people Israel and should thou possess it? ²⁴ If Chemosh thy god should expel anyone for you, would thou not possess it? So whoever the LORD our God shall drive out from before us, them will we possess. ²⁵ Art thou better now in any thing than Balak, the son of Zippor, king of Moab? Peradventure did he ever strive against Israel? Peradventure did he ever fight against them? ²⁶ Furthermore, Israel has dwelt in Heshbon and her towns and in Aroer and her towns and in all the cities that are along by the coasts of Arnon, for three hundred years. Why, therefore, did ye not recover them within that time? ²⁷ Therefore, I have not sinned against thee, but thou doest me wrong to war against me; let the LORD, who is the Judge, judge this day between the sons of Israel and the sons of Ammon. ²⁸ But the king of the sons of Ammon did not hear the reasons of Jephthah which he sent him. ²⁹ ¶ Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he passed through Gilead and Manasseh and passed through Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he went unto the sons of Ammon. ³⁰ And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the sons of Ammon into my hands, ³¹ whoever comes forth of the doors of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the sons of Ammon shall surely be the LORD’s, and I will offer them up for a burnt offering. ³² So Jephthah went over unto the sons of Ammon to fight against them, and the LORD delivered them into his hands. ³³ And he smote them from Aroer, even unto Minnith twenty cities, and unto the plain of the vineyards, with a very great slaughter. Thus the sons of Ammon were subdued before the sons of Israel.

For the female sex had been destroyed out of Benjamin. ¹⁷ And they said, Let the inheritance of Benjamin be saved that a tribe not be destroyed out of Israel. ¹⁸ However, we may not give them wives of our daughters, for the sons of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed be he that gives a wife to anyone of Benjamin. ¹⁹ Then they said, Behold, there is a solemn feast of the LORD in Shiloh yearly in a place which is towards the Aquilon from Bethel and towards the rising of the sun from the highway that goes up from Bethel to Shechem and towards the Negev from Lebonah. ²⁰ Therefore, they commanded the sons of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards ²¹ and watch with care, and when you see the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances, then come out of the vineyards, and each one of you shall rapture a wife of the daughters of Shiloh and go to the land of Benjamin. ²² And when their fathers or their brethren come unto us to complain, we will say unto them, Be merciful unto us for their sakes because in the war we did not take enough women for all of them; and you could not have given them to them, or ye should be guilty now. ²³ And the sons of Benjamin did so and took themselves wives, according to their number, rapturing them from among those that danced; and they went and returned unto their inheritance and rebuilt the cities and dwelt in them. ²⁴ Then the sons of Israel departed from there at that time, each man to his tribe and to his family, each one going from there to his inheritance. ²⁵ In those days there was no king in Israel; each one did that which seemed right in his own eyes.
