Judges 12:2-4

New Life Version

² Jephthah said to them, “I and my people were having much trouble with the people of Ammon. I did call you, but you did not take me away from them. ³ I saw that you would not help me, so I took my life in my hands. I crossed over to fight the people of Ammon. And the Lord gave them into my hand. So why have you come today to fight against me?” ⁴ Then Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and fought Ephraim. The men of Gilead won the war against Ephraim, because Ephraim said, “You people of Gilead are not respected among Ephraim and Manasseh.”
