Judges 11:2 in Context — Judges 11

1 Jephthé, le Galaadite, était un vaillant héros. Il était fils d’une femme prostituée; et c’est Galaad qui avait engendré Jephthé.

2 La femme de Galaad lui enfanta des fils, qui, devenus grands, chassèrent Jephthé, et lui dirent: Tu n’hériteras pas dans la maison de notre père, car tu es fils d’une autre femme.

3 Et Jephthé s’enfuit loin de ses frères, et il habita dans le pays de Tob. Des gens de rien se rassemblèrent auprès de Jephthé, et ils faisaient avec lui des excursions.

4 Quelque temps après, les fils d’Ammon firent la guerre à Israël.
