07:010:012 The Zidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, did
           oppress you; and ye cried to me, and I delivered you out of
           their hand.

07:010:013 Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods:  wherefore I
           will deliver you no more.

07:010:014 Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them
           deliver you in the time of your tribulation.

07:010:015 And the children of Israel said unto the lord, We have sinned: 
           do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto thee; deliver us
           only, we pray thee, this day.

07:010:016 And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served
           the lord:  and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.

07:010:017 Then the children of Ammon were gathered together, and
           encamped in Gilead.  And the children of Israel assembled
           themselves together, and encamped in Mizpeh.

07:010:018 And the people and princes of Gilead said one to another, What
           man is he that will begin to fight against the children of
           Ammon? he shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.

07:011:001 Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour, and he
           was the son of an harlot:  and Gilead begat Jephthah.

07:011:002 And Gilead’s wife bare him sons; and his wife’s sons grew up,
           and they thrust out Jephthah, and said unto him, Thou shalt
           not inherit in our father’s house; for thou art the son of a
           strange woman.

07:011:003 Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of
           Tob:  and there were gathered vain men to Jephthah, and went
           out with him.

07:011:004 And it came to pass in process of time, that the children of
           Ammon made war against Israel.

07:011:005 And it was so, that when the children of Ammon made war
           against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah
           out of the land of Tob: 

07:011:006 And they said unto Jephthah, Come, and be our captain, that we
           may fight with the children of Ammon.

07:011:007 And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, Did not ye hate
           me, and expel me out of my father’s house? and why are ye come
           unto me now when ye are in distress?

07:011:008 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.

07:011:009 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?
