Judges 11:2 CPDV

¹  At that time, there was a Gileadite, Jephthah, a very strong man and a fighter, the son of a kept woman, and he was born of Gilead.

²  Now Gilead had a wife, from whom he received sons. And they, after growing up, cast out Jephthah, saying, 'You cannot inherit in the house of our father, because you were born of another mother.'

³  And so, fleeing and avoiding them, he lived in the land of Tob. And men who were indigent and robbers joined with him, and they followed him as their leader.

⁴  In those days, the sons of Ammon fought against Israel.
