7 Then Jehovah’s anger blazed against Israel, and he sold them into the hands of the Phi·lisʹtines and the Amʹmon·ites.+

12 Jephʹthah then sent messengers to the king of the Amʹmon·ites,+ saying: “What do you have against me* that you have come to attack my land?”

33 He struck them down with a very great slaughter from A·roʹer all the way to Minʹnith—20 cities—and as far as Aʹbel-kerʹa·mim. Thus the Amʹmon·ites were subdued before the Israelites.

11 Then Naʹhash the Amʹmon·ite+ came up and camped against Jaʹbesh+ in Gilʹe·ad. All the men of Jaʹbesh said to Naʹhash: “Make a covenant* with us, and we will serve you.”
