And the men³⁷⁶ of Ephraim⁶⁶⁹ gathered themselves together,⁶⁸¹⁷ and went⁵⁶⁷⁴ northward,⁶⁸²⁸ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto Jephthah,³³¹⁶ Wherefore passedst thou over⁵⁶⁷⁴ to fight³⁸⁹⁸ against the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon,⁵⁹⁸³ and didst not call⁷¹²¹ us to go³²¹² with thee? we will burn⁸³¹³ thine house¹⁰⁰⁴ upon thee with fire.⁷⁸⁴

And Jephthah³³¹⁶ said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, I and my people⁵⁹⁷¹ were¹⁹⁶¹ at great³⁹⁶⁶ strife³⁷⁶ with the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon;⁵⁹⁸³ and when I called²¹⁹⁹ you, ye delivered³⁴⁶⁷ me not out of their hands.³⁰²⁷

And when I saw⁷²⁰⁰ that ye delivered³⁴⁶⁷ me not, I put⁷⁷⁶⁰ my life⁵³¹⁵ in my hands,³⁷⁰⁹ and passed over⁵⁶⁷⁴ against the children¹¹²¹ of Ammon,⁵⁹⁸³ and Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ them into my hand:³⁰²⁷ wherefore then are ye come up⁵⁹²⁷ unto me this day,³¹¹⁷ to fight³⁸⁹⁸ against me?

Then Jephthah³³¹⁶ gathered together⁶⁹⁰⁸ all the men⁵⁸² of Gilead,¹⁵⁶⁸ and fought³⁸⁹⁸ with Ephraim:⁶⁶⁹ and the men⁵⁸² of Gilead¹⁵⁶⁸ smote⁵²²¹ Ephraim,⁶⁶⁹ because they said,⁵⁵⁹ Ye Gileadites¹⁵⁶⁸ are fugitives⁶⁴¹² of Ephraim⁶⁶⁹ among⁸⁴³² the Ephraimites,⁶⁶⁹ and among⁸⁴³² the Manassites.⁴⁵¹⁹

And the Gileadites¹⁵⁶⁸ took³⁹²⁰ the passages⁴⁵⁶⁹ of Jordan³³⁸³ before the Ephraimites:⁶⁶⁹ and it was so, that when those Ephraimites⁶⁶⁹ which were escaped⁶⁴¹² said,⁵⁵⁹ Let me go over;⁵⁶⁷⁴ that the men⁵⁸² of Gilead¹⁵⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite?⁶⁷³ If he said,⁵⁵⁹ Nay;

Then said⁵⁵⁹ they unto him, Say⁵⁵⁹ now Shibboleth:⁷⁶⁴¹ and he said⁵⁵⁹ Sibboleth:⁵⁴⁵¹ for he could not frame³⁵⁵⁹ to pronounce¹⁶⁹⁶ it right. Then they took²⁷⁰ him, and slew⁷⁸¹⁹ him at the passages⁴⁵⁶⁹ of Jordan:³³⁸³ and there fell⁵³⁰⁷ at that time⁶²⁵⁶ of the Ephraimites⁶⁶⁹ forty⁷⁰⁵ and two⁸¹⁴⁷ thousand.⁵⁰⁵

And Jephthah³³¹⁶ judged⁸¹⁹⁹ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ six⁸³³⁷ years.⁸¹⁴¹ Then died⁴¹⁹¹ Jephthah³³¹⁶ the Gileadite,¹⁵⁶⁹ and was buried⁶⁹¹² in one of the cities⁵⁸⁹² of Gilead.¹⁵⁶⁸

And after³¹⁰ him Ibzan⁷⁸ of Bethlehem¹⁰³⁵ judged⁸¹⁹⁹ Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

And he had thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ sons,¹¹²¹ and thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ daughters,¹³²³ whom he sent⁷⁹⁷¹ abroad,²³⁵¹ and took in⁹³⁵ thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ daughters¹³²³ from abroad²³⁵¹ for his sons.¹¹²¹ And he judged⁸¹⁹⁹ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ years.⁸¹⁴¹

Then died⁴¹⁹¹ Ibzan,⁷⁸ and was buried⁶⁹¹² at Bethlehem.¹⁰³⁵

And after³¹⁰ him Elon,³⁵⁶ a Zebulonite,²⁰⁷⁵ judged⁸¹⁹⁹ Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ and he judged⁸¹⁹⁹ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ ten⁶²³⁵ years.⁸¹⁴¹

And Elon³⁵⁶ the Zebulonite²⁰⁷⁵ died,⁴¹⁹¹ and was buried⁶⁹¹² in Aijalon³⁵⁷ in the country⁷⁷⁶ of Zebulun.²⁰⁷⁴

And after³¹⁰ him Abdon⁵⁶⁵⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Hillel,¹⁹⁸⁵ a Pirathonite,⁶⁵⁵³ judged⁸¹⁹⁹ Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

And he had forty⁷⁰⁵ sons¹¹²¹ and thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ nephews,¹¹²¹ that rode⁷³⁹² on threescore and ten⁷⁶⁵⁷ donkey colts:⁵⁸⁹⁵ and he judged⁸¹⁹⁹ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ eight⁸⁰⁸³ years.⁸¹⁴¹

And Abdon⁵⁶⁵⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Hillel¹⁹⁸⁵ the Pirathonite⁶⁵⁵³ died,⁴¹⁹¹ and was buried⁶⁹¹² in Pirathon⁶⁵⁵² in the land⁷⁷⁶ of Ephraim,⁶⁶⁹ in the mount²⁰²² of the Amalekites.⁶⁰⁰³
