5 When this happened, the elders of Gilead went to the territory of Tob to find Jephthah. 6 They told him, |Come and be our commander so we can fight the Ammonites!| 7 But Jephthah replied to the elders of Gilead, |Weren't you the ones who hated me and drove me out of my father's house? And you come to me now that you're in trouble?| 8 So the elders of Gilead told Jephthah, |Well, we're coming back to you now so you can accompany us, fight the Ammonites, and become the head of all the inhabitants of Gilead.| Judges 11:5-8, Intl.
