Judges 12 :: Webster's Bible (WEB)

Jdg 12:1And the men of Ephraim assembled, and went northward, and said to Jephthah, Why didst thou pass 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.
Jdg 12:2And Jephthah said to them, I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, ye delivered me not out of their hands.
Jdg 12:3And when I saw that ye delivered me not, I put my life in my hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivered them into my hand: why then have ye come up to me this day, to fight against me?
Jdg 12:4Then Jephthah collected all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim: and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye Gileadites are fugitives of Ephraim among the Ephraimites, and among the Manassites.
Jdg 12:5And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was so, that when those Ephraimites who had escaped, said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said to him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said, No;
Jdg 12:6Then said they to him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce it right. Then they took him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan. And there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand.
Jdg 12:7And Jephthah judged Israel six years: then died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.
Jdg 12:8And after him Ibzan of Beth-lehem judged Israel.
Jdg 12:9And he had thirty sons and thirty daughters whom he sent abroad, and took in thirty daughters from abroad for his sons: and he judged Israel seven years.
Jdg 12:10Then died Ibzan, and was buried at Beth-lehem.
Jdg 12:11And after him Elon, a Zebulonite, judged Israel, and he judged Israel ten years.
Jdg 12:12And Elon the Zebulonite died, and was buried in Ajalon in the country of Zebulun.
Jdg 12:13And after him Abdon the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged Israel.
Jdg 12:14And he had forty sons and thirty nephews, that rode on seventy ass colts: and he judged Israel eight years.
Jdg 12:15And Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the mount of the Amalekites.
