Judges 12:2-4

Living Bible

² “I summoned you, but you refused to come!” Jephthah retorted. “You failed to help us in our time of need, ³ so I risked my life and went to battle without you, and the Lord helped me to conquer the enemy. Is that anything for you to fight us about?”

⁴ Then Jephthah, furious at the taunt of Ephraim that the men of Gilead were mere outcasts^[a] and the scum of the earth, mobilized his army and attacked the army of Ephraim.
