*
And the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together ,
and went northward ,
and said unto Jephthah ,
Wherefore passedst thou over to fight against the children of Ammon ,
and didst not call us to go with thee ?
we will burn thine house upon thee with fire .
*
And Jephthah said unto 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 .
*
And 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 :
wherefore then are ye come up unto me this day ,
to fight against me ?
*
Then Jephthah gathered together 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 .
