CHAP. XII.
The Ephraimites quarrel with
Jephte: 42,000 of them
are slain. Abesan, Ahialon,
and Abdon, are judges.
1 But behold there arose
a sedition in Ephraim.
And passing towards the north,
they said to Jephte: When
thou wentest to fight against
-- --
the children of Ammon, why
wouldst thou not call us,
that we might go with thee?
Therefore we will burn thy
house.
2 And he answered them:
I and my people were at great
strife with the children of Ammon:
and I called you, to assist
me, and you would not do it.
3 And when I saw this I
put my life in my own hands,
and passed over against the
children of Ammon, and the
Lord delivered them into my
hands. What have I deserved,
that you should rise up
to fight against me.
4 Then calling to him all
the men of Galaad, he fought
against Ephraim: and the men
of Galaad defeated Ephraim,
because he had said: Galaad
is a fugitive of Ephraim, and
dwelleth in the midst of Ephraim
and Manasses.
5 And the Galaadites secured
the sords of the Jordan,
by which Ephraim was to
return. And when any one
of the number of Ephraim,
came thither in the flight, and
said: I beseech you let me
pass: The Galaadites said to
him: Art thou not an Ephraimite?
If he said: I am
not:
6 They asked him: Say
then, Schibboleth, which is
interpreted, An ear of corn.
But he answered, Sibboleth,
not being able to express an
ear of corn by the same letter.
Then presently they took
him and killed him in the
very passage of the Jordan.
And there fell at that time of
Ephraim two and forty thousand.
7 And Jephte the Galaadite
judged Israel six years:
and he died and was buried in
his city of Galaad.
8 After him Abesan of
Bethlehem judged Israel:
9 He had thirty sons, and
as many daughters, whom he
sent abroad, and gave to husbands,
and took wives for
his sons of the same number,
bringing them into his house.
And he judged Israel seven
years:
10 And he died and was
buried in Bethlehem.
11 To him succeeded
Ahialon a Zabulonite: and
he judged Israel ten years:
12 And he died and was
buried in Zabulon.
13 After him Abdon, the
son of Illel a Pharathonite
judged Israel:
14 And he had forty sons,
and of them thirty grandsons,
mounted upon seventy asscolts,
and he judged Israel
eight years:
15 And he died, and was
buried in Pharathon in the
land of Ephraim, in the
mount of Amalec.
