And when you saw H7200 that Nahash H5176 the king H4428 of the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 came H935 against H5921 you, you said H559 to me, No; H3808 but a king H4428 shall reign H4427 over H5921 us: when the LORD H3068 your God H430 was your king. H4428

And the anger H639 of the LORD H3068 was hot H2734 against Israel, H3478 and he sold H4376 them into the hands H3027 of the Philistines, H6430 and into the hands H3027 of the children H1121 of Ammon. H5983

And the elders H2205 of Gilead H1568 said H559 to Jephthah, H3316 Therefore we turn H7725 again H7725 to you now, H6258 that you may go H1980 with us, and fight H3898 against the children H1121 of Ammon, H5983 and be our head H7218 over all H3605 the inhabitants H3427 of Gilead. H1568

And the elders H2205 of Gilead H1568 said H559 to Jephthah, H3316 The LORD H3068 be witness H8085 between H996 us, if H518 we do H6213 not so H3651 according to your words. H1697

And Jephthah H3316 sent H7971 messengers H4397 to the king H4428 of the children H1121 of Ammon, H5983 saying, H559 What H4100 have you to do with me, that you are come H935 against H413 me to fight H3898 in my land? H776

And Jephthah H3316 sent H7971 messengers H4397 again H3254 H5750 to the king H4428 of the children H1121 of Ammon: H5983

But when Israel H3478 came H5927 up from Egypt, H4714 and walked H3212 through the wilderness H4057 to the Red H5488 sea, H3220 and came H935 to Kadesh; H6946

Then they went H3212 along through the wilderness, H4057 and compassed H5437 the land H776 of Edom, H123 and the land H776 of Moab, H4124 and came H935 by the east H4217 H8121 side of the land H776 of Moab, H4124 and pitched H2583 on the other H5676 side H5676 of Arnon, H769 but came H935 not within the border H1366 of Moab: H4124 for Arnon H769 was the border H1366 of Moab. H4124

But Sihon H5511 trusted H539 not Israel H3478 to pass H5674 through his coast: H1366 but Sihon H5511 gathered H622 all H3605 his people H5971 together, and pitched H2583 in Jahaz, H3096 and fought H3898 against H5973 Israel. H3478

And they possessed H3423 all H3605 the coasts H1366 of the Amorites, H567 from Arnon H769 even to Jabbok, H2999 and from the wilderness H4057 even to Jordan. H3383

Will not you possess H3423 that which H834 Chemosh H3645 your god H430 gives you to possess? H3423 So whomsoever H3605 H834 the LORD H3068 our God H430 shall drive H3423 out from before H6440 us, them will we possess. H3423

While Israel H3478 dwelled H3427 in Heshbon H2809 and her towns, H1323 and in Aroer H6177 and her towns, H1323 and in all H3605 the cities H5892 that be along by the coasts H3027 of Arnon, H769 three H7969 hundred H3967 years? H8141 why H4069 therefore did you not recover H5337 them within that time? H6256

However, the king H4428 of the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 listened H8085 not to the words H1697 of Jephthah H3316 which H834 he sent H7971 him.

And Jephthah H3316 vowed H5087 a vow H5088 to the LORD, H3068 and said, H559 If H518 you shall without fail deliver H5414 the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 into my hands, H3027

So Jephthah H3316 passed H5674 over H5674 to the children H1121 of Ammon H5983 to fight H3898 against them; and the LORD H3068 delivered H5414 them into his hands. H3027

And when the inhabitants H3427 of Jabeshgilead H3003 H1568 heard H8085 of that which the Philistines H6430 had done H6213 to Saul; H7586

And they took H3947 their bones, H6106 and buried H6912 them under H8478 a tree H815 at Jabesh, H3003 and fasted H6684 seven H7651 days. H3117

And they said, H559 What H4310 one H259 is there of the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 that came H5927 not up to Mizpeh H4709 to the LORD? H3068 And, behold, H2009 there came H935 none H3808 H376 to the camp H4264 from Jabeshgilead H3003 H1568 to the assembly. H6951

And the congregation H5712 sent H7971 thither H8033 twelve H8147 H6240 thousand H505 men H376 of the most valiant, H1121 H2428 and commanded H6680 them, saying, H559 Go H3212 and smite H5221 the inhabitants H3427 of Jabeshgilead H3003 H1568 with the edge H6310 of the sword, H2719 with the women H802 and the children. H2945

And they found H4672 among the inhabitants H3427 of Jabeshgilead H3003 H1568 four H702 hundred H3967 young H5291 virgins, H1330 that had known H3045 no H3808 man H376 by lying H4904 with any male: H2145 and they brought H935 them to the camp H4264 to Shiloh, H7887 which H834 is in the land H776 of Canaan. H3667

And Benjamin H1144 came H7725 again H7725 at that time; H6256 and they gave H5414 them wives H802 which H834 they had saved H2421 alive H2421 of the women H802 of Jabeshgilead: H3003 H1568 and yet so H3651 they sufficed H4672 them not.

Then the elders H2205 of the congregation H5712 said, H559 How H4100 shall we do H6213 for wives H802 for them that remain, H3498 seeing H3588 the women H802 are destroyed H8045 out of Benjamin? H1144

However, we may H3201 not give H5414 them wives H802 of our daughters: H1323 for the children H1121 of Israel H3478 have sworn, H7650 saying, H559 Cursed H779 be he that gives H5414 a wife H802 to Benjamin. H1144

Therefore they commanded H6680 the children H1121 of Benjamin, H1144 saying, H559 Go H3212 and lie in wait H693 in the vineyards; H3754

And it shall be, when H3588 their fathers H1 or H176 their brothers H251 come H935 to us to complain, H7378 that we will say H559 to them, Be favorable H2603 to them for our sakes: because H3588 we reserved H3947 not to each man H376 his wife H802 in the war: H4421 for you did not give H5414 to them at this time, H6256 that you should be guilty. H816

And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 departed H1980 there H8033 at that time, H6256 every man H376 to his tribe H7626 and to his family, H4940 and they went H3318 out from there H8033 every man H376 to his inheritance. H5159

And they said, H559 We saw H7200 certainly that the LORD H3068 was with you: and we said, H559 Let there be now H4994 an oath H423 between H996 us, even between H996 us and you, and let us make H3772 a covenant H1285 with you;

You shall make H3772 no H3808 covenant H1285 with them, nor with their gods. H430

An Ammonite H5984 or Moabite H4125 shall not enter H935 into the congregation H6951 of the LORD; H3068 even H1571 to their tenth H6224 generation H1755 shall they not enter H935 into the congregation H6951 of the LORD H3068 for ever: H5769

And Ben-hadad H1130 said H559 to him, The cities, H5892 which H834 my father H1 took H3947 from your father, H1 I will restore; H7725 and you shall make H7760 streets H2351 for you in Damascus, H1834 as my father H1 made H7760 in Samaria. H8111 Then said Ahab, I will send H7971 you away with this covenant. H1285 So he made H3772 a covenant H1285 with him, and sent H7971 him away.

Will he make H3772 a covenant H1285 with you? will you take H3947 him for a servant H5650 for ever? H5769

Listen H8085 not to Hezekiah: H2396 for thus H3541 said H559 the king H4428 of Assyria, H804 Make H6213 an agreement with me by a present, H1293 and come H3318 out to me: and eat H398 you every H376 one H376 of his vine, H1612 and every H376 one H376 of his fig H8384 tree, and drink H8354 you every H376 one H376 the waters H4325 of his own cistern; H953

And has taken H3947 of the king's H4410 seed, H2233 and made H3772 a covenant H1285 with him, and has taken H935 an oath H423 of him: he has also taken H3947 the mighty H352 of the land: H776
