Judges 12
|
|
| 12:1
And the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and went northward,
and said unto Jephthah, Wherefore passedst thou over to fight against the
children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee? we will burn thine
house upon thee with fire. |
 42,000 Ephraimites Killed
|
| 12:2
And Jephthah said unto them, I and my people were at great strife with the
children of Ammon; and when I called you, ye delivered me not out of their
hands. |
|
| 12:3
And when I saw that ye delivered me not, I put my life in my hands, and
passed over against the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivered them into
my hand: wherefore then are ye come up unto me this day, to fight against
me? |
|
| 12:4
Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with
Ephraim: and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye
Gileadites are fugitives of Ephraim among the Ephraimites, and among the
Manassites. |
|
| 12:5
And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and
it was so, that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said, Let me go
over; that the men of Gilead said unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he
said, Nay; |
|
| 12:6
Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame
to pronounce it right. Then they took him, and slew him at the passages
of Jordan: and there fell
at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand. |
42,000 men are killed because someone mispronounces "shibboleth."
