Judges 12:5 in Context — Judges 12
3 Vendo pois que não me defendíeis, pus minha alma em minha palma, e passei contra os filhos de Amom, e o SENHOR os entregou em minha mão: por que pois subistes hoje contra mim para lutar comigo?
4 E juntando Jefté a todos os homens de Gileade, lutou contra Efraim; e os de Gileade feriram a Efraim, porque haviam dito: Vós sois fugitivos de Efraim, vós sois gileaditas entre Efraim e Manassés.
5 E os gileaditas tomaram os vaus do Jordão a Efraim; e era que, quando algum dos de Efraim que havia fugido, dizia, passarei? Os de Gileade lhe perguntavam: És tu efraimita? Se ele respondia, Não;
6 Então lhe diziam: Agora, pois, dize, Chibolete. E ele dizia, Sibolete; porque não podia pronunciar daquela sorte. Então lhe lançavam mão, e lhe degolavam junto aos vaus do Jordão. E morreram então dos de Efraim quarenta e dois mil.
7 E Jefté julgou Israel por seis anos: logo morreu Jefté gileadita, e foi sepultado em uma das cidades de Gileade.
