4. It came about after a while that the sons of Ammon fought against Israel.
5. When the sons of Ammon fought against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to get Jephthah from the land of Tob;
6. and they said to Jephthah, "Come and be our chief that we may fight against the sons of Ammon."
7. Then Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, "Did you not hate me and drive me from my father's house? So why have you come to me now when you are in trouble?"
