Judges 12 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

Jephthah and His Successors

Jdg 12:1Then the men of Ephraim were summoned, and they crossed [fn]to Zaphon and said to Jephthah, “Why did you cross over to fight against the sons of Ammon without calling us to go with you? We will burn your house down on you.”

Jdg 12:2

Jdg 12:2Jephthah said to them, “I and my people were at great strife with the sons of Ammon; when I called you, you did not deliver me from their hand.

Jdg 12:3

Jdg 12:3“When I saw that you would not deliver me, I [fn]took my life in my hands and crossed over against the sons of Ammon, and the LORD gave them into my hand. Why then have you come up to me this day to fight against me?”

Jdg 12:4

Jdg 12:4Then Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and fought Ephraim; and the men of Gilead [fn]defeated Ephraim, because they said, “You are fugitives of Ephraim, O Gileadites, in the midst of Ephraim and in the midst of Manasseh.”

Jdg 12:5

Jdg 12:5The Gileadites captured the fords of the Jordan opposite Ephraim. And it happened when any of the fugitives of Ephraim said, “Let me cross over,” the men of Gilead would say to him, “Are you an Ephraimite?” If he said, “No,”

Jdg 12:6

Jdg 12:6then they would say to him, “Say now, ‘Shibboleth.’” But he said, “Sibboleth,” for he could not [fn]pronounce it correctly. Then they seized him and slew him at the fords of the Jordan. Thus there fell at that time 42,000 of Ephraim.

Jdg 12:10Then Ibzan died and was buried in Bethlehem.
