Judges 11:1-2
1599 Geneva Bible
11 2 Jephthah being chased away by his brethren, was after made captain over Israel. 30 He maketh a rash vow. 32 He vanquisheth the Ammonites, 39 and sacrificeth his daughter according to his vow.
1 Then Gilead begat Jephthah, and Jephthah the Gileadite was [a]a valiant man, but the son of an [b]harlot.
2 And Gilead’s wife bare him sons, and when the woman’s children were come to age, they thrust out Jephthah, and said unto him, Thou shalt not inherit in our father’s house: for thou art the son of a [c]strange woman.
