And the men[H376] of Ephraim[H669] gathered themselves together,[H6817] and went[H5674] northward,[H6828] and said[H559] unto Jephthah,[H3316] Wherefore[H4069] passedst thou over[H5674] to fight[H3898] against the children[H1121] of Ammon,[H5983] and didst not[H3808] call[H7121] us to go[H1980] with[H5973] thee? we will burn[H8313] thine house[H1004] upon[H5921] thee with fire.[H784]
2. And Jephthah[H3316] said[H559] unto[H413] them, I[H589] and my people[H5971] were[H1961] at great strife[H376] [H7379] [H3966] with the children[H1121] of Ammon;[H5983] and when I called[H2199] you, ye delivered[H3467] me not[H3808] out of their hands.[H4480] [H3027]
3. And when I saw[H7200] that[H3588] ye delivered[H3467] me not,[H369] I put[H7760] my life[H5315] in my hands,[H3709] and passed over[H5674] against[H413] the children[H1121] of Ammon,[H5983] and the LORD[H3068] delivered[H5414] them into my hand:[H3027] wherefore[H4100] then are ye come up[H5927] unto[H413] me this[H2088] day,[H3117] to fight[H3898] against me?
