Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Did not ye hate: Genesis 26:27, Genesis 37:27, Genesis 45:4, Genesis 45:5, Proverbs 17:17, Isaiah 60:14, Acts 7:9-14, Revelation 3:9

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead,.... In answer to their request; who though not backward to engage in the war with them, yet thought it proper to take this opportunity to upbraid them with their former unkindness to him:

did not ye hate me, and expel me out of my father's house? for it seems some of these elders at least were his brethren; for who else could be thought to hate him, and through hatred to thrust him out of his father's house, but they? nor is it at all improbable that they were among the elders of Gilead, considering what family they were of: though indeed the magistrates of the city might be assisting to Jephthah's brethren in the expulsion of him, or however connived at it, when they should, as he thought, have protected him, and taken care that he had justice done him; for even though illegitimate, a maintenance was due to him:

and why are ye come unto me now, when ye are in distress? intimating, that it was not love and respect to him, but necessity, that brought them to him with this request; and that since they used him so ill, they could not reasonably expect he should have any regard unto them.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

This gives a wider signification to Judges 11:2-3, and shows that Jephthah’s “brethren†include his fellow tribesmen.
