New American Standard Bible

Chapter 11

6and they said to Jephthah, 'Come and be our leader, that we may fight against the sons of Ammon.' 7But 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?' 8The elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, 'For this reason we have now returned to you, that you may go with us and fight the sons of Ammon, and become our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.' 9So Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, 'If you bring me back to fight against the sons of Ammon and the Lord gives them up to me, will I become your head?' 10And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, 'The Lord is witness between us; be assured we will do as you have said.'
King James Version

Chapter 11

6And they said unto Jephthah, Come, and be our captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon. 7And 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? 8And 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. 9And 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? 10And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, The Lord be witness between us, if we do not so according to thy words.

Chapter 11

6They said to him, "Come, be our commander, and let’s fight the Ammonites."
7Jephthah replied to the elders of Gilead, "Didn’t you hate me and drive me out of my father’s family? Why then have you come to me now when you’re in trouble?"
8They answered Jephthah, "That’s true. But now we turn to you. Come with us, fight the Ammonites, and you will become leader of all the inhabitants of Gilead."
9So Jephthah said to them, "If you are bringing me back to fight the Ammonites and the Lord gives them to me, I will be your leader."
10The elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, "The Lord is our witness if we don’t do as you say."
New Living Translation

Chapter 11

6The elders said, 'Come and be our commander! Help us fight the Ammonites!'
7But Jephthah said to them, 'Aren’t you the ones who hated me and drove me from my father’s house? Why do you come to me now when you’re in trouble?'
8Because we need you,' the elders replied. 'If you lead us in battle against the Ammonites, we will make you ruler over all the people of Gilead.'
9Jephthah said to the elders, 'Let me get this straight. If I come with you and if the Lord gives me victory over the Ammonites, will you really make me ruler over all the people?'
10The Lord is our witness,' the elders replied. 'We promise to do whatever you say.'

6"Come," they said, "be our commander, so we can fight the Ammonites."
7Jephthah said to them, "Didn’t you hate me and drive me from my father’s house? Why do you come to me now, when you’re in trouble?"
8The elders of Gilead said to him, "Nevertheless, we are turning to you now; come with us to fight the Ammonites, and you will be head over all of us who live in Gilead."
9Jephthah answered, "Suppose you take me back to fight the Ammonites and the Lord gives them to me—will I really be your head?"
10The elders of Gilead replied, "The Lord is our witness; we will certainly do as you say."
