Judges 12:2 in Context — Judges 12

1 Les hommes d’Éphraïm se rassemblèrent, partirent pour le nord, et dirent à Jephthé: Pourquoi es-tu allé combattre les fils d’Ammon sans nous avoir appelés à marcher avec toi? Nous voulons incendier ta maison et te brûler avec elle.

2 Jephthé leur répondit: Nous avons eu de grandes contestations, moi et mon peuple, avec les fils d’Ammon; et quand je vous ai appelés, vous ne m’avez pas délivré de leurs mains.

3 Voyant que tu ne venais pas à mon secours, j’ai exposé ma vie, et j’ai marché contre les fils d’Ammon. L’Éternel les a livrés entre mes mains. Pourquoi donc aujourd’hui montez-vous contre moi pour me faire la guerre?

4 Jephthé rassembla tous les hommes de Galaad, et livra bataille à Éphraïm. Les hommes de Galaad battirent Éphraïm, parce que les Éphraïmites disaient: Vous êtes des fugitifs d’Éphraïm! Galaad est au milieu d’Éphraïm, au milieu de Manassé!
