Judges 11:8-10

EasyEnglish Bible

⁸ The leaders of Gilead replied, ‘But we really need you to help us. Please join us to fight against the Ammonites. Then we will make you the leader of everyone who lives in Gilead.’

⁹ Jephthah said to them, ‘So, you are saying that I should come back home to fight with you against the Ammonites. You are saying that if the Lord gives them to me, I will be your leader. Is that really true?’

¹⁰ The leaders of Gilead said, ‘We promise to do that. The Lord will judge between us if we do not do what you have said.’
