Narrative

Story in this passage

Jephthah fights Ephraim

Ephraim confronts Jephthah for fighting Ammon without them and threatens his house. Jephthah answers that he called for help and received none, then gathers Gilead against Ephraim. The Gileadites control the Jordan crossings, use “Shibboleth” to identify fugitives, and kill forty-two thousand.

Setting
The Jordan crossings between Ephraim and Gilead after the Ammonite victory.

Main events
Ephraim challenges Jephthah, civil conflict follows, and the pronunciation test exposes fleeing Ephraimites.

Why it matters
The deliverance from Ammon ends in devastating internal violence.
