Judges 11:27-29

New Catholic Bible

²⁷ I have not wronged you, but you have done this evil to me by attacking me. Let the Lord, the judge, decide between the Israelites and the Ammonites today.’ ”

²⁸ The king of the Ammonites did not heed the message that Jephthah had sent him. ²⁹ The Spirit of the Lord came upon Jephthah. He crossed over into Gilead and Manasseh, passing through Mizpah of Gilead, and from Mizpah of Gilead he advanced against the Ammonites.
