1Then the men of Ephraim were called together, and they crossed over to Zaphon and said to Jephthah, “Why did you cross over to fight against the Ammonites and not call us to go with you? We will burn your house down over you with fire.”

2Jephthah said to them, “I and my people were in a bitter conflict with the Ammonites, and I called out to you, but you did not save me from their hand.”

3When I saw that you were not delivering us, I put my life in my hand and crossed over against the Ammonites, and Yahweh gave them into my hand. So why have you come up against me today to fight against me?
