The Book of Judges 12

12Now the men of Ephraim were summoned and they passed northward and they said to Jephthah, “Why did you pass through in order to fight against the sons of Ammon but you did not call us to go with you? We will burn your house down over you with fire.” 2Jephthah said to them, “A man in exceedingly great dispute I have been, I and my people and the sons of Ammon. When I summoned you, you did not rescue me from their hand. 3When I saw that you were not coming to assist, I put my life in my own hand. I passed through to the sons of Ammon, and Yahweh gave them over into my hand. Now why have you come up to me to fight against me this day?” 4Then Jephthah assembled all of the men of Gilead and he fought Ephraim. The men of Gilead struck Ephraim because they had said, “Fugitives of Ephraim are you, O people of Gilead, in the midst of Ephraim, in the midst of Manasseh.” 5Gilead captured the crossing places of the Jordan along Ephraim. It happened when any of the survivors of Ephraim would say, “May I cross over,” that the men of Gilead would say to him, “Are you an Ephraimite?” If he said, “No,” 6then they would say to him, “Please say: Shibboleth.” But if he said “Sibboleth,” for he was not prepared to pronounce it correctly, they would seize him and they would slaughter him at the crossing places of the Jordan. Forty-two thousand from Ephraim fell at that time.

7Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then Jephthah the Gileadite died and he was buried among the cities of Gilead.

8Then after him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel. 9Now he had thirty sons. He sent away thirty daughters to the outside, and he brought in thirty daughters for his sons from the outside. He judged Israel seven years. 10Then Ibzan died and he was buried in Bethlehem. 11After him Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel. He judged Israel ten years. 12Then Elon the Zebulunite died and he was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.

13After him, Abdon, the son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel. 14Now he had forty sons and thirty sons of sons, who rode on seventy young male donkeys. He judged Israel eight years. 15Then Abdon, the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died and he was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the hill country of the Amalekite.
