Judges 11:7-9

21st Century King James Version

⁷ And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, “Did not ye hate me, and expel me out of my father’s house? And why have ye come unto me now when ye are in distress?”

⁸ And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, “Therefore we turn again to thee now, that thou mayest go with us and fight against the children of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.”

⁹ And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, “If ye bring me home again to fight against the children of Ammon, and the Lord deliver them before me, shall I be your head?”
