Judges 11:1-3 ▼

1 Jephthah the Gileadite was a valiant warrior, but he was the son of a prostitute, and Gilead was his father.

2 Gilead’s wife bore him sons, and when they grew up, they drove Jephthah out and said to him, “You will have no inheritance in our father’s family, because you are the son of another woman.”

3 So Jephthah fled from his brothers and lived in the land of Tob. Then some worthless men joined Jephthah and went on raids with him.
