07:011:037 And she said unto her father, Let this thing be done for me: 
           let me alone two months, that I may go up and down upon the
           mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my fellows.

07:011:038 And he said, Go.  And he sent her away for two months:  and she
           went with her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the
           mountains.

07:011:039 And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she
           returned unto her father, who did with her according to his
           vow which he had vowed:  and she knew no man.  And it was a
           custom in Israel,

07:011:040 That the daughters of Israel went yearly to lament the
           daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.

07:012:001 And the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and went
           northward, and said unto Jephthah, Wherefore passedst thou
           over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not
           call us to go with thee? we will burn thine house upon thee
           with fire.

07:012:002 And Jephthah said unto them, I and my people were at great
           strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, ye
           delivered me not out of their hands.

07:012:003 And when I saw that ye delivered me not, I put my life in my
           hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the
           lord delivered them into my hand:  wherefore then are ye come
           up unto me this day, to fight against me?

07:012:004 Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and
           fought with Ephraim:  and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim,
           because they said, Ye Gileadites are fugitives of Ephraim
           among the Ephraimites, and among the Manassites.

07:012:005 And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the
           Ephraimites:  and it was so, that when those Ephraimites which
           were escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said
           unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite?  If he said, Nay;

07:012:006 Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth:  and he said
           Sibboleth:  for he could not frame to pronounce it right.  Then
           they took him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan:  and
           there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two
           thousand.

07:012:007 And Jephthah judged Israel six years.  Then died Jephthah the
           Gileadite, and was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.

07:012:008 And after him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.

07:012:009 And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters, whom he sent
           abroad, and took in thirty daughters from abroad for his sons. 
           And he judged Israel seven years.
