1 The men of Ephraim prepared for battle; they crossed the Jordan Riverto Zaphonand said to Jephthah, "Why did you cross the border to fight the Ammoniteswithout calling us to go with you? We’ll burn the house down over your head!"
2 But Jephthahtold them, "My people and I had a serious quarrel with the Ammonites. I did call you, but you would not rescue me from them. 3 When I saw that you were not going to, I risked my life and crossed the border to fight them, and the Lordgave me victory over them. So why are you coming up to fight me now?" 4 Then Jephthahbrought all the men of Gileadtogether, fought the men of Ephraim and defeated them. (The Ephraimites had said, "You Gileaditesin Ephraim and Manasseh, you are deserters from Ephraim!") 5 In order to keep the Ephraimites from escaping, the Gileaditescaptured the places where the Jordancould be crossed. When any Ephraimite who was trying to escape would ask permission to cross, the men of Gileadwould ask, "Are you an Ephraimite?" If he said, "No," 6 they would tell him to say "Shibboleth." But he would say "Sibboleth," because he could not pronounce it correctly. Then they would grab him and kill him there at one of the Jordan Rivercrossings. At that time forty-two thousand of the Ephraimites were killed.
