Judges 11:1-33
Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a valiant warrior, but he was the son of a prostitute. And Gilead had fathered Jephthah.Gilead’s wife bore him sons; and when his wife’s sons grew up, they drove Jephthah out and said to him,“ You shall not have an inheritance in our father’s house, for you are the son of another woman.”So Jephthah fled from his brothers and lived in the land of Tob; and worthless men gathered around Jephthah, and they went wherever he did.Now it came about, after a while, that the sons of Ammon fought against Israel.When the sons of Ammon fought against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to get Jephthah from the land of Tob;and they said to Jephthah,“ Come and be our leader, that we may fight against the sons of Ammon.”But Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead,“ Did you not hate me and drive me from my father’s house? So why have you come to me now when you are in trouble?”The elders of Gilead said to Jephthah,“ For this reason we have now returned to you, that you may go with us and fight the sons of Ammon, and become our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.”So Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead,“ If you bring me back to fight against the sons of Ammon and the Lord gives them up to me, will I become your head?”And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah,“ The Lord is witness between us; be assured we will do as you have said.”Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and leader over them; and Jephthah spoke all his words before the Lord at Mizpah.So Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the sons of Ammon, saying,“ What conflict do you and I have, that you have come to me to fight against my land?”And the king of the sons of Ammon said to the messengers of Jephthah,“ It is because Israel took my land when they came up from Egypt, from the Arnon as far as the Jabbok and the Jordan; so return them peaceably now.”But Jephthah sent messengers once again to the king of the sons of Ammon,and they said to him,“ This is what Jephthah says:‘ Israel did not take the land of Moab nor the land of the sons of Ammon.For when they came up from Egypt, and Israel went through the wilderness to the Red Sea, and came to Kadesh,then Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying,“ Please let us pass through your land”; but the king of Edom would not listen. And they also sent messengers to the king of Moab, but he would not consent. So Israel remained at Kadesh.Then they went through the wilderness and around the land of Edom and the land of Moab, and came to the east side of the land of Moab, and they camped beyond the Arnon; but they did not enter the territory of Moab, for the Arnon was the border of Moab.And Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said to him,“ Please let us pass through your land to our place.”But Sihon did not trust Israel to pass through his territory; so Sihon gathered all his people and camped in Jahaz, and fought with Israel.And the Lord, the God of Israel, handed Sihon and all his people over to Israel, and they defeated them; so Israel took possession of all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country.So they possessed all the territory of the Amorites, from the Arnon as far as the Jabbok, and from the wilderness as far as the Jordan.And now the Lord, the God of Israel, has driven out the Amorites from His people Israel; so should you possess it?Do you not possess what Chemosh your god gives you to possess? So whatever the Lord our God has dispossessed before us, we will possess it.Now then, are you any better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever contend with Israel, or did he ever fight against them?While Israel was living in Heshbon and its villages, and in Aroer and its villages, and in all the cities that are on the banks of the Arnon, three hundred years, why did you not recover them within that time?So I have not sinned against you, but you are doing me wrong by making war against me. May the Lord, the Judge, judge today between the sons of Israel and the sons of Ammon.’ ”But the king of the sons of Ammon disregarded the message which Jephthah sent him.Now the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jephthah, and he passed through Gilead and Manasseh; then he passed through Mizpah of Gilead, and from Mizpah of Gilead he went on to the sons of Ammon.And Jephthah made a vow to the Lord and said,“ If You will indeed hand over to me the sons of Ammon,then whatever comes out the doors of my house to meet me when I return safely from the sons of Ammon, it shall be the Lord’s, and I will offer it up as a burnt offering.”So Jephthah crossed over to the sons of Ammon to fight against them; and the Lord handed them over to him.He inflicted a very great defeat on them from Aroer to the entrance of Minnith, twenty cities, and as far as Abel keramim. So the sons of Ammon were subdued before the sons of Israel.

Judges 13:1-16
Now the sons of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord handed them over to the Philistines for forty years.And there was a man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was infertile and had not given birth to any children.Then the angel of the Lord appeared to the woman and said to her,“ Behold now, you are infertile and have not given birth; but you will conceive and give birth to a son.And now, be careful not to drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing.For behold, you will conceive and give birth to a son, and no razor shall come upon his head, for the boy shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb; and he will begin to save Israel from the hands of the Philistines.”Then the woman came and told her husband, saying,“ A man of God came to me, and his appearance was like the appearance of the angel of God, very awesome. So I did not ask him where he came from, nor did he tell me his name.But he said to me,‘ Behold, you shall conceive and give birth to a son, and now you shall not drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing, for the boy shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb to the day of his death.’ ”Then Manoah pleaded with the Lord and said,“ Lord, please let the man of God whom You have sent come to us again so that he may teach us what we are to do for the boy who is to be born.”And God listened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again to the woman as she was sitting in the field, but Manoah her husband was not with her.So the woman hurried and ran, and told her husband,“ Behold, the man who came the other day has appeared to me!”So Manoah got up and followed his wife, and when he came to the man he said to him,“ Are you the man who spoke to the woman?” And he said,“ I am.”Then Manoah said,“ Now when your words are fulfilled, what shall be the boy’s way of life and his vocation?”And the angel of the Lord said to Manoah,“ The woman shall pay attention to all that I said.She shall not eat anything that comes from the vine nor drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing; she shall keep all that I commanded.”Then Manoah said to the angel of the Lord,“ Please let us detain you so that we may prepare a young goat for you.”But the angel of the Lord said to Manoah,“ Though you detain me, I will not eat your food, but if you prepare a burnt offering, offer it to the Lord.” For Manoah did not know that he was the angel of the Lord.
