JG-9:32 Now therefore up by night, thou and the people that [is]

with thee, and lie in wait in the field:<field> <lie> <night>

JG-9:33 And it shall be, [that] in the morning, as soon as the

sun is up, thou shalt rise early, and set upon the city:and,

behold, [when] he and the people that [is] with him come out

against thee, then mayest thou do to them as thou shalt find

occasion. <against> <behold> <city> <come> <do> <early> <find>

JG-9:34 And Abimelech rose up, and all the people that [were]

with him, by night, and they laid wait against Shechem in four

companies. <against> <all> <companies> <four> <him> <laid>

JG-9:35 And Gaal the son of Ebed went out, and stood in the

entering of the gate of the city:and Abimelech rose up, and the

people that [were] with him, from lying in wait. <city> <ebed>

JG-9:36 And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, Behold,

there come people down from the top of the mountains. And Zebul

said unto him, Thou seest the shadow of the mountains as [if

they were] men. <behold> <come> <down> <gaal> <him> <men>

JG-9:37 And Gaal spake again and said, See there come people

down by the middle of the land, and another company come along

by the plain of Meonenim. <again> <along> <another> <come>

JG-9:38 Then said Zebul unto him, Where [is] now thy mouth,

wherewith thou saidst, Who [is] Abimelech, that we should serve

him? [is] not this the people that thou hast despised? go out, I

pray now, and fight with them. <despised> <fight> <go> <hast>

JG-9:39 And Gaal went out before the men of Shechem, and fought

with Abimelech. <before> <fought> <gaal> <men> <shechem> <went>

<with>

JG-9:40 And Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him, and

many were overthrown [and] wounded, [even] unto the entering of

the gate. <before> <chased> <entering> <even> <fled> <gate>

JG-9:41 And Abimelech dwelt at Arumah:and Zebul thrust out Gaal

and his brethren, that they should not dwell in Shechem.

JG-9:42 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people went

out into the field; and they told Abimelech. <came> <field>

JG-9:43 And he took the people, and divided them into three

companies, and laid wait in the field, and looked, and, behold,

the people [were] come forth out of the city; and he rose up

against them, and smote them. <against> <behold> <city> <come>

JG-9:44 And Abimelech, and the company that [was] with him,

rushed forward, and stood in the entering of the gate of the

city:and the two [other] companies ran upon all [the people]

that [were] in the fields, and slew them. <all> <city>

JG-9:45 And Abimelech fought against the city all that day; and

he took the city, and slew the people that [was] therein, and

beat down the city, and sowed it with salt. <against> <all>

JG-9:46 And when all the men of the tower of Shechem heard

[that] , they entered into an hold of the house of the god

Berith. <all> <berith> <entered> <god> <heard> <hold> <house>

JG-9:47 And it was told Abimelech, that all the men of the tower

of Shechem were gathered together. <all> <gathered> <men>

JG-9:48 And Abimelech gat him up to mount Zalmon, he and all the

people that [were] with him; and Abimelech took an ax in his

hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it, and laid

[it] on his shoulder, and said unto the people that [were] with

him, What ye have seen me do, make haste, [and] do as I [have

done] . <all> <ax> <bough> <cut> <do> <done> <down> <gat> <hand>

JG-9:49 And all the people likewise cut down every man his bough,

and followed Abimelech, and put [them] to the hold, and set the

hold on fire upon them; so that all the men of the tower of

Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women. <all> <also>

JG-9:50 Then went Abimelech to Thebez, and encamped against

Thebez, and took it. <against> <encamped> <thebez> <then> <took>

<went>

JG-9:51 But there was a strong tower within the city, and

thither fled all the men and women, and all they of the city,

and shut [it] to them, and gat them up to the top of the tower.

JG-9:52 And Abimelech came unto the tower, and fought against it,

and went hard unto the door of the tower to burn it with fire.

JG-9:53 And a certain woman cast a piece of a millstone upon

Abimelech's head, and all to brake his skull. <all> <brake>

JG-9:54 Then he called hastily unto the young man his

armourbearer, and said unto him, Draw thy sword, and slay me,

that men say not of me, A woman slew him. And his young man

thrust him through, and he died. <armourbearer> <called> <died>

JG-9:55 And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead,

they departed every man unto his place. <dead> <departed>

JG-9:56 Thus God rendered the wickedness of Abimelech, which he

did unto his father, in slaying his seventy brethren:<brethren>

JG-9:57 And all the evil of the men of Shechem did God render

upon their heads:and upon them came the curse of Jotham the son

of Jerubbaal. <all> <came> <curse> <did> <evil> <god> <heads>

JG-10:1 And after Abimelech there arose to defend Israel Tola

the son of Puah the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, and he dwelt

in Shamir in mount Ephraim. <after> <arose> <defend> <dodo>

JG-10:2 And he judged Israel twenty and three years, and died,

and was buried in Shamir. <buried> <died> <israel> <judged>

JG-10:3 And after him arose Jair, a Gileadite, and judged Israel

twenty and two years. <after> <arose> <gileadite> <him> <israel>

JG-10:4 And he had thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts,

and they had thirty cities, which are called Havothjair unto

this day, which [are] in the land of Gilead. <are> <ass>

JG-10:5 And Jair died, and was buried in Camon. <buried> <camon>

JG-10:6 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight

of the LORD, and served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of

Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods

of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and

forsook the LORD, and served not him. <again> <ammon>

JG-10:7 And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he

sold them into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands

of the children of Ammon. <against> <ammon> <anger> <children>

JG-10:8 And that year they vexed and oppressed the children of

Israel:eighteen years, all the children of Israel that [were] on

the other side Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which [is] in

Gilead. <all> <amorites> <children> <eighteen> <gilead> <israel>

JG-10:9 Moreover the children of Ammon passed over Jordan to

fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the

house of Ephraim; so that Israel was sore distressed. <against>

JG-10:10 And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, saying,

We have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our

God, and also served Baalim. <against> <also> <baalim> <because>

JG-10:11 And the LORD said unto the children of Israel, [Did]

not [I deliver you] from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites,

from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines? <ammon>

JG-10:12 The Zidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the

Maonites, did oppress you; and ye cried to me, and I delivered

you out of their hand. <also> <amalekites> <cried> <delivered>

JG-10:13 Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods:

wherefore I will deliver you no more. <deliver> <forsaken>

<yet>

JG-10:14 Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them

deliver you in the time of your tribulation. <chosen> <cry>

<your>

JG-10:15 And the children of Israel said unto the LORD, We have

sinned:do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto thee;

deliver us only, we pray thee, this day. <children> <day>

JG-10:16 And they put away the strange gods from among them, and

served the LORD:and his soul was grieved for the misery of

Israel. <among> <away> <gods> <grieved> <israel> <lord> <misery>

JG-10:17 Then the children of Ammon were gathered together, and

encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled

themselves together, and encamped in Mizpeh. <ammon> <assembled>

JG-10:18 And the people [and] princes of Gilead said one to

another, What man [is he] that will begin to fight against the

children of Ammon? he shall be head over all the inhabitants of

Gilead. <against> <all> <ammon> <another> <begin> <children>

JG-11:1 Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour,

and he [was] the son of an harlot:and Gilead begat Jephthah.

JG-11:2 And Gilead's wife bare him sons; and his wife's sons

grew up, and they thrust out Jephthah, and said unto him, Thou

shalt not inherit in our father's house; for thou [art] the son

of a strange woman. <art> <bare> <grew> <him> <house> <inherit>

JG-11:3 Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the

land of Tob:and there were gathered vain men to Jephthah, and

went out with him. <brethren> <dwelt> <fled> <gathered> <him>

JG-11:4 And it came to pass in process of time, that the

children of Ammon made war against Israel. <against> <ammon>

JG-11:5 And it was so, that when the children of Ammon made war

against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out

of the land of Tob:<against> <ammon> <children> <elders> <fetch>

JG-11:6 And they said unto Jephthah, Come, and be our captain,

that we may fight with the children of Ammon. <ammon> <captain>

JG-11:7 And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, Did not ye

hate me, and expel me out of my father's house? and why are ye

come unto me now when ye are in distress? <are> <come> <did>

JG-11:8 And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, Therefore

we turn again to thee now, that thou mayest go with us, and

fight against the children of Ammon, and be our head over all

the inhabitants of Gilead. <again> <against> <all> <ammon>

JG-11:9 And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, If ye bring

me home again to fight against the children of Ammon, and the

LORD deliver them before me, shall I be your head? <again>

JG-11:10 And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, The LORD

be witness between us, if we do not so according to thy words.

JG-11:11 Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the

people made him head and captain over them:and Jephthah uttered

all his words before the LORD in Mizpeh. <all> <before>

<words>

JG-11:12 And Jephthah sent messengers unto the king of the

children of Ammon, saying, What hast thou to do with me, that

thou art come against me to fight in my land? <against> <ammon>

JG-11:13 And the king of the children of Ammon answered unto the

messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land, when

they came up out of Egypt, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and unto

Jordan:now therefore restore those [lands] again peaceably.

JG-11:14 And Jephthah sent messengers again unto the king of the

children of Ammon:<again> <ammon> <children> <jephthah> <king>

JG-11:15 And said unto him, Thus saith Jephthah, Israel took not

away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon:

JG-11:16 But when Israel came up from Egypt, and walked through

the wilderness unto the Red sea, and came to Kadesh; <came>

JG-11:17 Then Israel sent messengers unto the king of Edom,

saying, Let me, I pray thee, pass through thy land:but the king

of Edom would not hearken [thereto] . And in like manner they

sent unto the king of Moab:but he would not [consent] :and

Israel abode in Kadesh. <consent> <edom> <hearken> <israel>

JG-11:18 Then they went along through the wilderness, and

compassed the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by

the east side of the land of Moab, and pitched on the other side

of Arnon, but came not within the border of Moab:for Arnon [was]

the border of Moab. <along> <arnon> <border> <came> <compassed>

JG-11:19 And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the

Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said unto him, Let us

pass, we pray thee, through thy land into my place. <amorites>

JG-11:20 But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his coast:

but Sihon gathered all his people together, and pitched in Jahaz,

and fought against Israel. <against> <all> <coast> <fought>

JG-11:21 And the LORD God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his

people into the hand of Israel, and they smote them:so Israel

possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that

country. <all> <amorites> <country> <delivered> <god> <hand>

JG-11:22 And they possessed all the coasts of the Amorites, from

Arnon even unto Jabbok, and from the wilderness even unto Jordan.

JG-11:23 So now the LORD God of Israel hath dispossessed the

Amorites from before his people Israel, and shouldest thou

possess it? <amorites> <before> <dispossessed> <god> <hath>

JG-11:24 Wilt not thou possess that which Chemosh thy god giveth

thee to possess? So whomsoever the LORD our God shall drive out

from before us, them will we possess. <before> <chemosh> <drive>

<wilt>

JG-11:25 And now [art] thou any thing better than Balak the son

of Zippor, king of Moab? did he ever strive against Israel, or

did he ever fight against them, <against> <any> <art> <balak>

JG-11:26 While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and her towns, and in

Aroer and her towns, and in all the cities that [be] along by

the coasts of Arnon, three hundred years? why therefore did ye

not recover [them] within that time? <all> <along> <arnon>

JG-11:27 Wherefore I have not sinned against thee, but thou

doest me wrong to war against me:the LORD the Judge be judge

this day between the children of Israel and the children of

Ammon. <against> <ammon> <between> <children> <day> <doest>

<wrong>

JG-11:28 Howbeit the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not

unto the words of Jephthah which he sent him. <ammon> <children>

<words>

JG-11:29 Then the spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he

passed over Gilead, and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of

Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over [unto] the

children of Ammon. <ammon> <came> <children> <gilead> <jephthah>

JG-11:30 And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If

thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine

hands, <ammon> <children> <deliver> <fail> <hands> <into>

JG-11:31 Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the

doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the

children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD'S, and I will offer

it up for a burnt offering. <ammon> <burnt> <children> <cometh>

JG-11:32 So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to

fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hands.

JG-11:33 And he smote them from Aroer, even till thou come to

Minnith, [even] twenty cities, and unto the plain of the

vineyards, with a very great slaughter. Thus the children of

Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel. <ammon>

JG-11:34 And Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his house, and, behold,

his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances:

and she [was his] only child; beside her he had neither son nor

daughter. <behold> <beside> <came> <child> <dances> <daughter>

JG-11:35 And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his

clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! thou hast brought me very

low, and thou art one of them that trouble me:for I have opened

my mouth unto the LORD, and I cannot go back. <alas> <art>

JG-11:36 And she said unto him, My father, [if] thou hast opened

thy mouth unto the LORD, do to me according to that which hath

proceeded out of thy mouth; forasmuch as the LORD hath taken

vengeance for thee of thine enemies, [even] of the children of

Ammon. <ammon> <children> <do> <enemies> <even> <father>

JG-11:37 And she said unto her father, Let this thing be done

for me:let me alone two months, that I may go up and down upon

the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my fellows.

JG-11:38 And he said, Go. And he sent her away [for] two months:

and she went with her companions, and bewailed her virginity

upon the mountains. <away> <bewailed> <companions> <go> <months>

JG-11:39 And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she

returned unto her father, who did with her [according] to his

vow which he had vowed:and she knew no man. And it was a custom

in Israel, <came> <custom> <did> <end> <father> <had> <israel>

JG-11:40 [That] the daughters of Israel went yearly to lament

the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.

JG-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.

JG-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. <ammon> <called>

JG-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? <against> <ammon>

JG-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. <all> <among>

JG-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; <art>

JG-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.

JG-12:7 And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then died Jephthah

the Gileadite, and was buried in [one of] the cities of Gilead.

JG-12:8 And after him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel. <after>

JG-12:9 And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters, [whom] he

sent abroad, and took in thirty daughters from abroad for his

sons. And he judged Israel seven years. <daughters> <had>

<years>

JG-12:10 Then died Ibzan, and was buried at Bethlehem.

JG-12:11 And after him Elon, a Zebulonite, judged Israel; and he

judged Israel ten years. <after> <elon> <him> <israel> <judged>

JG-12:12 And Elon the Zebulonite died, and was buried in Aijalon

in the country of Zebulun. <aijalon> <buried> <country> <died>

JG-12:13 And after him Abdon the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite,

judged Israel. <after> <hillel> <him> <israel> <judged>

JG-12:14 And he had forty sons and thirty nephews, that rode on

threescore and ten ass colts:and he judged Israel eight years.

JG-12:15 And Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and

was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the mount of

the Amalekites. <amalekites> <buried> <died> <ephraim> <hillel>

JG-13:1 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight

of the LORD; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the

Philistines forty years. <again> <children> <delivered> <did>

JG-13:2 And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of

the Danites, whose name [was] Manoah; and his wife [was] barren,

and bare not. <bare> <barren> <certain> <danites> <family> <man>

JG-13:3 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto the woman, and

said unto her, Behold now, thou [art] barren, and bearest not:

but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son. <angel> <appeared>

JG-13:4 Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine

nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean [thing] :<any>

JG-13:5 For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no

razor shall come on his head:for the child shall be a Nazarite

unto God from the womb:and he shall begin to deliver Israel out

of the hand of the Philistines. <bear> <begin> <child> <come>

JG-13:6 Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man

of God came unto me, and his countenance [was] like the

countenance of an angel of God, very terrible:but I asked him

not whence he [was] , neither told he me his name:<angel>

JG-13:7 But he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and

bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat

any unclean [thing] :for the child shall be a Nazarite to God

from the womb to the day of his death. <any> <bear> <behold>

JG-13:8 Then Manoah entreated the LORD, and said, O my Lord, let

the man of God which thou didst send come again unto us, and

teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born.

<which>

JG-13:9 And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel

of God came again unto the woman as she sat in the field:but

Manoah her husband [was] not with her. <again> <angel> <came>

JG-13:10 And the woman made haste, and ran, and showed her

husband, and said unto him, Behold, the man hath appeared unto

me, that came unto me the [other] day. <appeared> <behold>

JG-13:11 And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to

the man, and said unto him, [Art] thou the man that spakest unto

the woman? And he said, I [am] . <after> <arose> <art> <came>

JG-13:12 And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass. How

shall we order the child, and [how] shall we do unto him?

JG-13:13 And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Of all that

I said unto the woman let her beware. <all> <angel> <beware>

JG-13:14 She may not eat of any [thing] that cometh of the vine,

neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean

[thing] :all that I commanded her let her observe. <all> <any>

JG-13:15 And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, I pray thee,

let us detain thee, until we shall have made ready a kid for

thee. <angel> <detain> <have> <kid> <let> <lord> <made> <manoah>

JG-13:16 And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Though thou

detain me, I will not eat of thy bread:and if thou wilt offer a

burnt offering, thou must offer it unto the LORD. For Manoah

knew not that he [was] an angel of the LORD. <angel> <bread>

JG-13:17 And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, What [is]

thy name, that when thy sayings come to pass we may do thee

honour? <angel> <come> <do> <honour> <lord> <manoah> <may>

JG-13:18 And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why askest

thou thus after my name, seeing it [is] secret? <after> <angel>

<why>

JG-13:19 So Manoah took a kid with a meat offering, and offered

[it] upon a rock unto the LORD:and [the angel] did wonderously;

and Manoah and his wife looked on. <angel> <did> <kid> <looked>

JG-13:20 For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward

heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the LORD ascended

in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on

[it] , and fell on their faces to the ground. <altar> <angel>

JG-13:21 But the angel of the LORD did no more appear to Manoah

and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he [was] an angel of the

LORD. <angel> <appear> <did> <knew> <lord> <manoah> <more> <no>

JG-13:22 And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die,

because we have seen God. <because> <die> <god> <have> <manoah>

JG-13:23 But his wife said unto him, If the LORD were pleased to

kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and a meat

offering at our hands, neither would he have showed us all these

[things] , nor would as at this time have told us [such things]

as these. <all> <burnt> <hands> <have> <him> <kill> <lord>

<would>

JG-13:24 And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson:

and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him. <bare> <blessed>

<woman>

JG-13:25 And the spirit of the LORD began to move him at times

in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol. <began> <between>

<zorah>

JG-14:1 And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in

Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines. <daughters> <down>

JG-14:2 And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and

said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the

Philistines:now therefore get her for me to wife. <came>

JG-14:3 Then his father and his mother said unto him, [Is there]

never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all

my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised

Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me;

for she pleaseth me well. <all> <among> <brethren> <daughters>

JG-14:4 But his father and his mother knew not that it [was] of

the LORD, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines:for

at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel. <against>

JG-14:5 Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to

Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath:and, behold, a

young lion roared against him. <against> <behold> <came> <down>

JG-14:6 And the spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and

he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and [he had] nothing in

his hand:but he told not his father or his mother what he had

done. <came> <done> <father> <had> <hand> <have> <him> <kid>

JG-14:7 And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she

pleased Samson well. <down> <pleased> <samson> <she> <talked>

JG-14:8 And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned

aside to see the carcase of the lion:and, behold, [there was] a

swarm of bees and honey in the carcase of the lion. <after>
