Judges 11:7 in Context — Judges 11

5 E quando os filhos de Amom tinham guerra contra Israel, os anciãos de Gileade foram para fazer voltar a Jefté da terra de Tobe;

6 E disseram a Jefté: Vem, e serás nosso capitão, para que lutemos com os filhos de Amom.

7 E Jefté respondeu aos anciãos de Gileade: Não me odiastes, e me lançastes da casa de meu pai? por que pois vindes agora a mim quando estais em aflição?

8 E os anciãos de Gileade responderam a Jefté: Por esta mesma causa voltamos agora a ti, para que venhas conosco, e lutes contra os filhos de Amom, e nos sejas cabeça a todos os que moramos em Gileade.

9 Jefté então disse aos anciãos de Gileade: Se me fazeis voltar para que lute contra os filhos de Amom, e o SENHOR os entregar diante de mim, serei eu vossa cabeça?
