Jud 12:1
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, @Jud 8:1.
Jud 12:3
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.
Jud 12:4
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.
Jud 12:6
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.
Jud 12:8
12:8 And after him {f} Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
(f) Some think that this was Boaz the husband of Ruth.
