Jephthah Delivers Israel

1 Now d Jephthah the Gileadite was e a mighty warrior, but he was the son of a prostitute. Gilead was the father of Jephthah. 2 And Gilead's wife also bore him sons. And when his wife's sons grew up, they drove Jephthah out and said to him, "You shall not have an inheritance in our father's house, for you are the son of another woman." 3 Then Jephthah fled from his brothers and lived in the land of f Tob, and g worthless fellows collected around Jephthah and went out with him.
