第12章

1 以法蓮人聚集,到了北方,對耶弗他說:「你去與亞捫人爭戰,為甚麼沒有招我們同去呢?我們必用火燒你和你的房屋。」

2 耶弗他對他們說:「我和我的民與亞捫人大大爭戰;我招你們來,你們竟沒有來救我脫離他們的手。

3 我見你們不來救我,我就拚命前去攻擊亞捫人,耶和華將他們交在我手中。你們今日為甚麼上我這裏來攻打我呢?」

4 於是耶弗他招聚基列[all]人,與以法蓮人爭戰;基列人擊殺以法蓮人,是因他們說:「你們基列人在以法蓮、瑪拿西中間,不過是以法蓮逃亡的人。」

5 基列人把守約旦河的渡口,不容以法蓮人過去。以法蓮逃走的人若說:「容我過去。」基列人就問他說:「你是以法蓮人不是?」他若說:「不是」,

6 就對他說:「你說『示播列』。」;以法蓮人因為咬不[right]字音,便說「西播列。」基列人就將他拿住,殺在約旦河的渡口。那時以法蓮人被殺的有四萬二千人。

7 耶弗他作以色列的士師六年。基列人耶弗他死了,葬在基列的一座城裏。

8 耶弗他以後,有伯.利恆人以比讚作以色列的士師。

9 他有三十個兒子,三十個女兒;女兒都嫁出去了。他給眾子從外鄉娶了三十個媳婦。他作以色列的士師七年。

10 以比讚死了,葬在伯.利恆。

11 以比讚之後,有西布倫人以倫,作以色列的士師十年。

12 西布倫人以倫死了,葬在西布倫地的亞雅崙。

13 以倫之後,有比拉頓人希列的兒子押頓作以色列的士師。

14 他有四十個兒子,三十個孫子,騎著七十匹驢駒。押頓作以色列的士師八年。

15 比拉頓人希列的兒子押頓死了,葬在以法蓮地的比拉頓,在亞瑪力人的山地。
