1The Ephraimites mustered their forces and, crossing over to Zaphon, said to Jephthah, “Why did you march against the Ammonites and not summon us to go with you? We shall burn your house over your head.”
2Jephthah answered, “I and my people had a grave feud with the Ammonites, and had I appealed to you for help, you would not have saved us from them.
3When I saw that we were not to look for help from you, I took my life in my hands and marched against the Ammonites, and the LORD delivered them into my power. So why do you now attack me?”
4Jephthah then mustered all the men of Gilead and fought Ephraim, and the Gileadites defeated them.
5The Gileadites seized the fords of the Jordan and held them against Ephraim. When any Ephraimite who had escaped wished to cross, the men of Gilead would ask, “Are you an Ephraimite?” and if he said, “No,”
6they would retort, “Say ‘Shibboleth.’” He would say “Sibboleth,” and because he could not pronounce the word properly, they seized him and killed him at the fords. At that time forty-two thousand men of Ephraim lost their lives.
7Jephthah was judge over Israel for six years; when he died he was buried in his own town in Gilead.
8After him Ibzan of Bethlehem was made judge over Israel.
9He had thirty sons and thirty daughters. He gave away the thirty girls in marriage and brought in thirty girls for his sons. He was judge over Israel for seven years,
10and when he died he was buried in Bethlehem.
11After him Elon the Zebulunite was judge over Israel for ten years.
12When he died, he was buried in Aijalon in Zebulun territory.
13Next Abdon son of Hillel the Pirathonite was judge over Israel.
14He had forty sons and thirty grandsons, each of whom rode on his own donkey. He was judge over Israel for eight years;
15and when he died he was buried in Pirathon in Ephraim territory on the hill of the Amalekite.
