Judges 11 — Context

11

So Jephthah went with the responsible men of Gilead, and the people made him head and chief over them; and Jephthah said all these things before the Lord in Mizpah.

12

Then Jephthah sent men to the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What have you against me that you have come to make war against my land?

13

And the king of the children of Ammon said to the men sent by Jephthah, Because Israel, when he came up out of Egypt, took away my land, from the Arnon as far as the Jabbok and as far as Jordan: so now, give me back those lands quietly.

14

And Jephthah sent again to the king of the children of Ammon,

15

And said to him, This is the word of Jephthah: Israel did not take away the land of Moab or the land of the children of Ammon;

16

But when they came up from Egypt, Israel went through the waste land to the Red Sea and came to Kadesh;

17

Then Israel sent men to the king of Edom saying, Let me now go through your land; but the king of Edom did not give ear to them. And in the same way he sent to the king of Moab, but he would not; so Israel went on living in Kadesh.
