5And when the Ammonites made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to bring Jephthah from the land of Tob.6And they said to Jephthah, "Come and be our leader, that we may fight against the Ammonites."
8And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, "That is why we have turned to you now, that you may go with us and fight against the Ammonites and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."
11So Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and leader over them. And Jephthah spoke all his words before the LORD at Mizpah.
