Judges 11:15-17

International Children’s Bible

¹⁵ They took this message:

“This is what Jephthah says: Israel did not take the land of the people of Moab or Ammon. ¹⁶ When the people of Israel came out of Egypt, they went into the desert. They went to the Gulf of Aqaba and then to Kadesh. ¹⁷ Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom. They asked, ‘Let the people of Israel go across your land.’ But the king of Edom didn’t let us. We sent the same message to the king of Moab. But he would not let us go across his land either. So the Israelites stayed at Kadesh.
