Judges 12:2-12

²And Jephthae said to them, I and my people and the children of Ammon were very much engaged in war; and I called for you, and you° did not save me out of their hand.

³And I saw that you were no helper, and I put my life in my hand, and passed on to the sons of Ammon; and the Lord delivered them into my hand: and therefore are you° come up against me this day to fight with me?

⁴And Jephthae gathered all the men of Galaad, and fought with Ephraim; and the men of Galaad struck Ephraim, because they that were escaped of Ephraim said, You° are of Galaad in the midst of Ephraim and in the midst of Manasse.

⁵And Galaad took the fords of Jordan before Ephraim; and they that escaped of Ephraim said to them, Let us go over: and the men of Galaad said, Are you an Ephrathite? and he said, No.

⁶Then they said to him, Say now Stachys; and he did not rightly pronounce it so: and they took him, and killed him at the fords of Jordan; and there fell at that time of Ephraim two and forty thousand.

⁷And Jephthae judged Israel six years; and Jephthae the Galaadite died, and was buried in his city Galaad.

⁸And after him Abaissan of Bethleem judged Israel.

⁹And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters, whom he sent forth; and he brought in thirty daughters for his sons from without; and he judged Israel seven years.

¹⁰And Abaissan died, and was buried in Bethleem.

¹¹And after him Aelom of Zabulon judged Israel ten years.

¹²And Aelom of Zabulon died, and was buried in Aelom in the land of Zabulon.
