The elders of Gilead bring Jephthah back, and the people make him head and chief

길르앗 장로들이 입다를 데려오고 백성이 그를 머리와 장관으로 삼음

Judges 11:4–11: After a while, the children of Ammon make war against Israel. When the children of Ammon make war against Israel, the elders of Gilead go to get Jephthah out of the land of Tob. They say to Jephthah, “Come and be our chief, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.” Jephthah says to the elders of Gilead, “Didn’t you hate me, and drive me out of my father’s house? Why have you come to me now when you are in distress?” The elders of Gilead say to Jephthah, “Therefore we have turned again to you now, that you may go with us and fight with the children of Ammon. You will be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.” Jephthah says to the elders of Gilead, “If you bring me home again to fight with the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivers them before me, will I be your head?” The elders of Gilead say to Jephthah, “The LORD will be witness between us. Surely we will do what you say.” Then Jephthah goes with the elders of Gilead, and the people make him head and chief over them. Jephthah speaks all his words before the LORD in Mizpah.
