not out of their hands.
3
And when I saw that ye delivered
me
not, I put my life in my hands, and
passed over against the children of Ammon, and the L
ORD
delivered them into my hand: wherefore
then are ye come up unto me this day, to fight against me?
4
Then Jephthah gathered together all
the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim: and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they
said, Ye Gileadites
are
fugitives of Ephraim among the Ephraimites,
and
among the Manassites.
5
And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was
so,
that when
those Ephraimites which were escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said unto him,
Art
thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay;
6
Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he
said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce
it
right. Then they took him, and slew him at
the passages of Jordan: and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand.
7
And
Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried in
one of
the
cities of Gilead.

And after him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
9
And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters,
whom
he sent abroad, and took in thirty daughters from abroad for his sons. And he judged Israel
seven years.
10
Then died Ibzan, and was buried at Bethlehem.
11
And after him Elon, a Zebulonite, judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years.
12
And Elon
the Zebulonite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the country of Zebulun.
13
And after him Abdon the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged Israel.
14
And he had forty sons
and thirty nephews, that rode on threescore and ten ass colts: and he judged Israel eight years.
15
And Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was buried in Pirathon in the land of
Ephraim, in the mount of the Amalekites.
CHAPTER 13
And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the L
ORD
; and the L
ORD
delivered them into
the hand of the Philistines forty years.
2
And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name
was
Manoah;
and his wife
was
barren, and bare not.
3
And the angel of the L
ORD
appeared unto the woman, and
said unto her, Behold now, thou
art
barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a
son.
4
Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not any
unclean
thing:
5
For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head:
for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out
of the hand of the Philistines.
6
Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and his
countenance
was
like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible: but I asked him not whence
he
was,
neither told he me his name:
7
But he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear
a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean
thing:
for the child shall be
a Nazarite to God from the womb to the day of his death.
