Löydetty 126 Tulokset: Gilead
For eighteen years, all the Isra-elites living on the other side of the Jordan in the Amorite land of Gilead were disturbed and oppressed. (Judges 10, 8)
The Ammonites assembled and went to encamp in Gilead. The Israelites also assembled and they encamped at Mizpah. (Judges 10, 17)
There the people and the leaders of Gilead asked one another, "Who will lead us all to fight against the Ammonites? Whoever he is, we shall make him head of all the inhabitants of Gilead." (Judges 10, 18)
Jephthah the Gileadite was a valiant warrior. His mother was a prostitute, and his father was Gilead. (Judges 11, 1)
But Gilead's wife also bore him sons, and when they grew up, they drove Jephthah out saying, "You shall not share or inherit anything in the household of our father, for you are the son of another woman." (Judges 11, 2)
So the elders of Gilead went to Jephthah in the land of Tob (Judges 11, 5)
Jephthah answered the elders of Gilead, "Didn't you drive me out of my father's house because you hated me? Why do you come to me now in your distress?" (Judges 11, 7)
The elders answered him, "We come asking you to join us in fighting the Ammonites; we want you to be head of the whole of Gilead." (Judges 11, 8)
So Jephthah returned with the elders of Gilead and the people made him their head and general, and Jephthah repeated all his conditions before Yahweh in Mizpah. (Judges 11, 11)
The Spirit of Yahweh came upon Jephthah. He went through Gilead and Manasseh, passed through Mizpah of Gilead, and then entered the territory of the Ammonites. (Judges 11, 29)
Then Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and attacked Ephraim. The Gileadites defeated the Ephraimites who told them, "You, Gileadites, are fugitives who crossed from Ephraim and Manasseh." (Judges 12, 4)
Gilead seized the shallow waters of the Jordan and blocked the way. Whenever a fugitive from Ephraim said, "Let me pass," the men of Gilead would ask him, "Are you an Ephraimite?" If he responded, "No," (Judges 12, 5)
