5 And it was so, that when the Bnei Ammon made war against Yisroel, the ziknei Gil`ad went to fetch Yiftach out of Eretz Tov;
6 And they said unto Yiftach, Come, and be our katzin (leader), that we may fight with the Bnei Ammon.
7 And Yiftach said unto the ziknei Gil`ad, Did not ye hate me, and expel me out of my bais avi? And why are ye come unto me now when ye are in distress?
8 And the ziknei Gil`ad said unto Yiftach, Nevertheless, we turn again to thee now, that thou mayest go with us, and fight against the Bnei Ammon, and be our rosh over all the inhabitants of Gil`ad.
9 And Yiftach said unto the ziknei Gil`ad, If ye bring me home again to fight against the Bnei Ammon, and Hashem deliver them before me, shall I be your rosh?
10 And the ziknei Gil`ad said unto Yiftach, Hashem be witness between us, if we do not so according to thy words.
11 Then Yiftach went with the ziknei Gil`ad, and the people made him rosh and katzin over them; and Yiftach uttered all his words before Hashem in Mitzpah.
