So I called for you, but you didn’t deliver me from their power.When I saw that you weren’t going to deliver me, I took my life in my own hands and crossed over to the Ammonites, and the LORD handed them over to me. Why then have you come today to fight against me?”Then Jephthah gathered all of the men of Gilead.

Whenever a fugitive from Ephraim said,“ Let me cross over,” the Gileadites asked him,“ Are you an Ephraimite?” If he answered,“ No,”they told him,“ Please say Shibboleth.” If he said,“ Sibboleth,” because he could not pronounce it correctly, they seized him and executed him at the fords of the Jordan. At that time forty-two thousand from Ephraim died.
