The Gileadites took the fords of the Jordan against the Ephraimites.
Whenever a fugitive of Ephraim said, “Let me go over,”
the men of Gilead said to him, “Are you an Ephraimite?”
If he said, “No;”
then they said to him, “Now say ‘Shibboleth;’”
and he said “Sibboleth”; for he couldn’t manage to pronounce it correctly, then they seized him and killed him at the fords of the Jordan.
At that time, forty-two thousand of Ephraim fell.
Jephthah judged Israel six years.
Then Jephthah the Gileadite died, and was buried in the cities of Gilead.
After him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
