Judges 11:8-10

International Standard Version

⁸ So the elders of Gilead told Jephthah, “Well, we’re coming back to you now so you can accompany us, fight the Ammonites, and become the head of all the inhabitants of Gilead.”

⁹ Then Jephthah asked the elders of Gilead, “If you all send me to fight against the Ammonites and the Lord hands them over right in front of me, will I really become your head?”

¹⁰ The elders of Gilead responded to Jephthah, “May the Lord serve^[a] as a witness that we’re making this agreement between ourselves to do as we’ve said.”
