Judges 11:8 DBY

⁶  and they said to Jephthah, 'Come and be our leader, that we may fight with the Ammonites.'

⁷  But Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, 'Did you not hate me, and drive me out of my father's house? Why have you come to me now when you are in trouble?'

⁸  And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, 'That is why we have turned to you now, that you may go with us and fight with the Ammonites, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.'

⁹  Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, 'If you bring me home again to fight with the Ammonites, and the LORD gives them over to me, I will be your head.'

¹⁰  And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, 'The LORD will be witness between us; we will surely do as you say.'
