2 And Jephthah said to them, |I and my people had a great feud with the Ammonites; and when I called you, you did not deliver me from their hand.
3 And when I saw that you would not deliver me, I took my life in my hand, and crossed over against the Ammonites, and the LORD gave them into my hand; why then have you come up to me this day, to fight against me?|

6 they said to him, |Then say Shibboleth,| and he said, |Sibboleth,| for he could not pronounce it right; then they seized him and slew him at the fords of the Jordan. And there fell at that time forty-two thousand of the E'phraimites.
