Contextual Overview

4 En 'n tyd daarna het die kinders van Ammon oorlog gevoer teen Israel. 5 Maar toe die kinders van Ammon oorlog voer teen Israel, het die oudstes van Gílead Jefta gaan haal uit die land Tob; 6 en hulle het vir Jefta gesê: Kom en wees ons aanvoerder, dat ons kan veg teen die kinders van Ammon. 7 Maar Jefta antwoord die oudstes van Gílead: Het julle my nie gehaat en my uit my vader se huis weggejaag nie? Waarom kom julle dan nou na my, nou dat julle in die benoudheid sit? 8 Toe sê die oudstes van Gílead vir Jefta: Daarom kom ons nou na jou terug, dat jy met ons kan saamtrek en teen die kinders van Ammon veg, en dat jy ons hoof kan wees oor al die inwoners van Gílead. 9 Daarop antwoord Jefta die oudstes van Gílead: As julle my laat terugkom om teen die kinders van Ammon te veg en die HERE hulle aan my oorgee, dan moet ek julle hoof word. 10 Toe sê die oudstes van Gílead vir Jefta: Die HERE sal hoorder wees tussen ons. Waarlik, soos jy gesê het, so sal ons doen. 11Woe to them! For they have gone the way of Cain, and for pay they have poured themselves into the error of Balaam, and perished in the rebellion of Korah.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it was so, that when the children of Ammon made war against Israel,.... Were preparing for it, and had assembled their forces near them, and had began to make some efforts against them:

the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob; they did not send messengers to him, but went themselves, partly to show greater respect to him, and partly in hopes of better success, being aware of objections he would make, which they could better answer themselves than a deputation.
