Judges 12
12:1 And
the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and went
a
northward, and said unto Jephthah, Wherefore passedst thou over to fight against
the children of Ammon, and didst not call
b
us to go with thee? we will burn thine house upon thee with fire.
(
a) After they had passed Jordan.
(
b) Thus ambition envies God's work in others
as they did against Gideon, (
Judges
8:1).
12:3 And when I saw that ye
delivered [me] not,
c I put my life in
my hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivered
them into my hand: wherefore then are ye come up unto me this day, to fight
against me?
(
c) That is, I ventured my life, and when man's
help failed, I put my trust only in God.
12:4 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
d
among the Ephraimites, [and] among the Manassites.
(
d) You ran from us, and chose Gilead, and now in
respect to us you are nothing.
12:6 Then said they unto him,
Say now
e 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.
(
e) Which signifies the fall of waters, or an ear
of corn.
12:8 And after him
f
Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
(
f) Some think that this was Boaz the husband of
Ruth.
