Judges 第 11 章 - King James Strong Number Version

1

Now Jephthah <H3316> the Gileadite <H1569> was a mighty <H1368> man of valour, <H2428> and he [was] the son <H1121> of an harlot: <H0802> <H2181> and Gilead <H1568> begat <H3205> Jephthah. <H3316>

2

And Gilead's <H1568> wife <H0802> bare <H3205> him sons; <H1121> and his wife's <H0802> sons <H1121> grew up, <H1431> and they thrust out <H1644> Jephthah, <H3316> and said <H0559> unto him, Thou shalt not inherit <H5157> in our father's <H0001> house; <H1004> for thou [art] the son <H1121> of a strange <H0312> woman. <H0802>

3

Then Jephthah <H3316> fled <H1272> from <H6440> his brethren, <H0251> and dwelt <H3427> in the land <H0776> of Tob: <H2897> and there were gathered <H3950> vain <H7386> men <H0582> to Jephthah, <H3316> and went out <H3318> with him.

4

And it came to pass in process of time, <H3117> that the children <H1121> of Ammon <H5983> made war <H3898> against Israel. <H3478>

5

And it was so, that when the children <H1121> of Ammon <H5983> made war <H3898> against Israel, <H3478> the elders <H2205> of Gilead <H1568> went <H3212> to fetch <H3947> Jephthah <H3316> out of the land <H0776> of Tob: <H2897>

6

And they said <H0559> unto Jephthah, <H3316> Come, <H3212> and be our captain, <H7101> that we may fight <H3898> with the children <H1121> of Ammon. <H5983>

7

And Jephthah <H3316> said <H0559> unto the elders <H2205> of Gilead, <H1568> Did not ye hate <H8130> me, and expel <H1644> me out of my father's <H0001> house? <H1004> and why are ye come <H0935> unto me now when ye are in distress? <H6887>

8

And the elders <H2205> of Gilead <H1568> said <H0559> unto Jephthah, <H3316> Therefore we turn <H7725> again to thee now, that thou mayest go <H1980> with us, and fight <H3898> against the children <H1121> of Ammon, <H5983> and be our head <H7218> over all the inhabitants <H3427> of Gilead. <H1568>

9

And Jephthah <H3316> said <H0559> unto the elders <H2205> of Gilead, <H1568> If ye bring me home again <H7725> to fight <H3898> against the children <H1121> of Ammon, <H5983> and the LORD <H3068> deliver <H5414> them before <H6440> me, shall I be your head? <H7218>

10

And the elders <H2205> of Gilead <H1568> said <H0559> unto Jephthah, <H3316> The LORD <H3068> be witness <H8085> between us, if we do <H6213> not so according to thy words. <H1697>

11

Then Jephthah <H3316> went <H3212> with the elders <H2205> of Gilead, <H1568> and the people <H5971> made <H7760> him head <H7218> and captain <H7101> over them: and Jephthah <H3316> uttered <H1696> all his words <H1697> before <H6440> the LORD <H3068> in Mizpeh. <H4709>

12

And Jephthah <H3316> sent <H7971> messengers <H4397> unto the king <H4428> of the children <H1121> of Ammon, <H5983> saying, <H0559> What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come <H0935> against me to fight <H3898> in my land? <H0776>

13

And the king <H4428> of the children <H1121> of Ammon <H5983> answered <H0559> unto the messengers <H4397> of Jephthah, <H3316> Because Israel <H3478> took <H3947> away my land, <H0776> when they came up <H5927> out of Egypt, <H4714> from Arnon <H0769> even unto Jabbok, <H2999> and unto Jordan: <H3383> now therefore restore those [lands] again <H7725> peaceably. <H7965>

14

And Jephthah <H3316> sent <H7971> messengers <H4397> again <H3254> unto the king <H4428> of the children <H1121> of Ammon: <H5983>

15

And said <H0559> unto him, Thus saith <H0559> Jephthah, <H3316> Israel <H3478> took <H3947> not away the land <H0776> of Moab, <H4124> nor the land <H0776> of the children <H1121> of Ammon: <H5983>

16

But when Israel <H3478> came up <H5927> from Egypt, <H4714> and walked <H3212> through the wilderness <H4057> unto the Red <H5488> sea, <H3220> and came <H0935> to Kadesh; <H6946>

17

Then Israel <H3478> sent <H7971> messengers <H4397> unto the king <H4428> of Edom, <H0123> saying, <H0559> Let me, I pray thee, pass <H5674> through thy land: <H0776> but the king <H4428> of Edom <H0123> would not hearken <H8085> [thereto]. And in like manner they sent <H7971> unto the king <H4428> of Moab: <H4124> but he would <H0014> not [consent]: and Israel <H3478> abode <H3427> in Kadesh. <H6946>

18

Then they went <H3212> along through the wilderness, <H4057> and compassed <H5437> the land <H0776> of Edom, <H0123> and the land <H0776> of Moab, <H4124> and came <H0935> by the east side <H4217> <H8121> of the land <H0776> of Moab, <H4124> and pitched <H2583> on the other side <H5676> of Arnon, <H0769> but came <H0935> not within the border <H1366> of Moab: <H4124> for Arnon <H0769> [was] the border <H1366> of Moab. <H4124>

19

And Israel <H3478> sent <H7971> messengers <H4397> unto Sihon <H5511> king <H4428> of the Amorites, <H0567> the king <H4428> of Heshbon; <H2809> and Israel <H3478> said <H0559> unto him, Let us pass, <H5674> we pray thee, through thy land <H0776> into <H5704> my place. <H4725>

20

But Sihon <H5511> trusted <H0539> not Israel <H3478> to pass <H5674> through his coast: <H1366> but Sihon <H5511> gathered <H0622> all his people <H5971> together, and pitched <H2583> in Jahaz, <H3096> and fought <H3898> against Israel. <H3478>

21

And the LORD <H3068> God <H0430> of Israel <H3478> delivered <H5414> Sihon <H5511> and all his people <H5971> into the hand <H3027> of Israel, <H3478> and they smote <H5221> them: so Israel <H3478> possessed <H3423> all the land <H0776> of the Amorites, <H0567> the inhabitants <H3427> of that country. <H0776>

22

And they possessed <H3423> all the coasts <H1366> of the Amorites, <H0567> from Arnon <H0769> even unto Jabbok, <H2999> and from the wilderness <H4057> even unto Jordan. <H3383>

23

So now the LORD <H3068> God <H0430> of Israel <H3478> hath dispossessed <H3423> the Amorites <H0567> from before <H6440> his people <H5971> Israel, <H3478> and shouldest thou possess <H3423> it?

24

Wilt not thou possess <H3423> that which Chemosh <H3645> thy god <H0430> giveth thee to possess? <H3423> So whomsoever the LORD <H3068> our God <H0430> shall drive out <H3423> from before <H6440> us, them will we possess. <H3423>

25

And now [art] thou any thing better <H2896> than Balak <H1111> the son <H1121> of Zippor, <H6834> king <H4428> of Moab? <H4124> did he ever <H7378> strive <H7378> against Israel, <H3478> or did he ever <H3898> fight <H3898> against them,

26

While Israel <H3478> dwelt <H3427> in Heshbon <H2809> and her towns, <H1323> and in Aroer <H6177> and her towns, <H1323> and in all the cities <H5892> that [be] along by the coasts <H3027> of Arnon, <H0769> three <H7969> hundred <H3967> years? <H8141> why therefore did ye not recover <H5337> [them] within that time? <H6256>

27

Wherefore I have not sinned <H2398> against thee, but thou doest <H6213> me <H0853> wrong <H7451> to war <H3898> against me: the LORD <H3068> the Judge <H8199> be judge <H8199> this day <H3117> between the children <H1121> of Israel <H3478> and the children <H1121> of Ammon. <H5983>

28

Howbeit the king <H4428> of the children <H1121> of Ammon <H5983> hearkened <H8085> not unto the words <H1697> of Jephthah <H3316> which he sent <H7971> him.

29

Then the Spirit <H7307> of the LORD <H3068> came upon Jephthah, <H3316> and he passed over <H5674> Gilead, <H1568> and Manasseh, <H4519> and passed over <H5674> Mizpeh <H4708> of Gilead, <H1568> and from Mizpeh <H4708> of Gilead <H1568> he passed over <H5674> [unto] the children <H1121> of Ammon. <H5983>

30

And Jephthah <H3316> vowed <H5087> a vow <H5088> unto the LORD, <H3068> and said, <H0559> If thou shalt without fail <H5414> deliver <H5414> the children <H1121> of Ammon <H5983> into mine hands, <H3027>

31

Then it shall be, that whatsoever <H3318> cometh forth <H3318> of the doors <H1817> of my house <H1004> to meet <H7125> me, when I return <H7725> in peace <H7965> from the children <H1121> of Ammon, <H5983> shall surely be the LORD'S, <H3068> and I will offer it up <H5927> for a burnt offering. <H5930>

32

So Jephthah <H3316> passed over <H5674> unto the children <H1121> of Ammon <H5983> to fight <H3898> against them; and the LORD <H3068> delivered <H5414> them into his hands. <H3027>

33

And he smote <H5221> them from Aroer, <H6177> even till thou come <H0935> to Minnith, <H4511> [even] twenty <H6242> cities, <H5892> and unto the plain <H0058> of the vineyards, <H3754> with a very <H3966> great <H1419> slaughter. <H4347> Thus the children <H1121> of Ammon <H5983> were subdued <H3665> before <H6440> the children <H1121> of Israel. <H3478>

34

And Jephthah <H3316> came <H0935> to Mizpeh <H4709> unto his house, <H1004> and, behold, his daughter <H1323> came out <H3318> to meet <H7125> him with timbrels <H8596> and with dances: <H4246> and she [was his] only child; <H3173> beside her he had neither son <H1121> nor <H0176> daughter. <H1323>

35

And it came to pass, when he saw <H7200> her, that he rent <H7167> his clothes, <H0899> and said, <H0559> Alas, <H0162> my daughter! <H1323> thou hast brought me very <H3766> low, <H3766> and thou art one of them that trouble <H5916> me: for I have opened <H6475> my mouth <H6310> unto the LORD, <H3068> and I cannot <H3808> <H3201> go back. <H7725>

36

And she said <H0559> unto him, My father, <H0001> [if] thou hast opened <H6475> thy mouth <H6310> unto the LORD, <H3068> do <H6213> to me according to that which hath proceeded <H3318> out of thy mouth; <H6310> forasmuch <H0310> as <H0834> the LORD <H3068> hath taken <H6213> vengeance <H5360> for thee of thine enemies, <H0341> [even] of the children <H1121> of Ammon. <H5983>

37

And she said <H0559> unto her father, <H0001> Let this thing <H1697> be done <H6213> for me: let me alone <H7503> two <H8147> months, <H2320> that I may go <H3212> up and down <H3381> upon the mountains, <H2022> and bewail <H1058> my virginity, <H1331> I and my fellows. <H7464> <H7474>

38

And he said, <H0559> Go. <H3212> And he sent her away <H7971> [for] two <H8147> months: <H2320> and she went <H3212> with her companions, <H7464> and bewailed <H1058> her virginity <H1331> upon the mountains. <H2022>

39

And it came to pass at the end <H7093> of two <H8147> months, <H2320> that she returned <H7725> unto her father, <H0001> who did <H6213> with her [according] to his vow <H5088> which he had vowed: <H5087> and she knew <H3045> no man. <H0376> And it was a custom <H2706> in Israel, <H3478>

40

[That] the daughters <H1323> of Israel <H3478> went <H3212> yearly <H3117> <H3117> to lament <H8567> the daughter <H1323> of Jephthah <H3316> the Gileadite <H1569> four <H0702> days <H3117> in a year. <H8141>
