After a time the Ammonites made war against Israel.And when the Ammonites made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to bring Jephthah from the land of Tob.And they said to Jephthah,“ Come and be our leader, that we may fight against the Ammonites.”But Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead,“ Did you not hate me and drive me out of my father’s house? Why have you come to me now when you are in distress?”And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah,“ That is why we have turned to you now, that you may go with us and fight against the Ammonites and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.”Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead,“ If you bring me home again to fight against the Ammonites, and the Lord gives them over to me, I will be your head.”And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah,“ The Lord will be witness between us, if we do not do as you say.”So Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and leader over them. And Jephthah spoke all his words before the Lord at Mizpah.Then Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the Ammonites and said,“ What do you have against me, that you have come to me to fight against my land?”And the king of the Ammonites answered the messengers of Jephthah,“ Because Israel on coming up from Egypt took away my land, from the Arnon to the Jabbok and to the Jordan; now therefore restore it peaceably.”Jephthah again sent messengers to the king of the Ammonitesand said to him,“ Thus says Jephthah: Israel did not take away the land of Moab or the land of the Ammonites,but when they came up from Egypt, Israel went through the wilderness to the Red Sea and came to Kadesh.Israel then sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying,‘ Please let us pass through your land,’ but the king of Edom would not listen. And they sent also to the king of Moab, but he would not consent. So Israel remained at Kadesh.“ Then they journeyed through the wilderness and went around the land of Edom and the land of Moab and arrived on the east side of the land of Moab and camped on the other side of the Arnon. But they did not enter the territory of Moab, for the Arnon was the boundary of Moab.Israel then sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, king of Heshbon, and Israel said to him,‘ Please let us pass through your land to our country,’but Sihon did not trust Israel to pass through his territory, so Sihon gathered all his people together and encamped at Jahaz and fought with Israel.And the Lord, the God of Israel, gave Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they defeated them. So Israel took possession of all the land of the Amorites, who inhabited that country.And they took possession of all the territory of the Amorites from the Arnon to the Jabbok and from the wilderness to the Jordan.So then the Lord, the God of Israel, dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel; and are you to take possession of them?Will you not possess what Chemosh your god gives you to possess? And all that the Lord our God has dispossessed before us, we will possess.Now are you any better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever contend against Israel, or did he ever go to war with them?While Israel lived in Heshbon and its villages, and in Aroer and its villages, and in all the cities that are on the banks of the Arnon, 300 years, why did you not deliver them within that time?I therefore have not sinned against you, and you do me wrong by making war on me. The Lord, the Judge, decide this day between the people of Israel and the people of Ammon.”But the king of the Ammonites did not listen to the words of Jephthah that he sent to him.Then the Spirit of the Lord was upon Jephthah, and he passed through Gilead and Manasseh and passed on to Mizpah of Gilead, and from Mizpah of Gilead he passed on to the Ammonites.And Jephthah made a vow to the Lord and said,“ If you will give the Ammonites into my hand,then whatever comes out from the doors of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the Ammonites shall be the Lord’s, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering.”So Jephthah crossed over to the Ammonites to fight against them, and the Lord gave them into his hand.And he struck them from Aroer to the neighborhood of Minnith, twenty cities, and as far as Abel-keramim, with a great blow. So the Ammonites were subdued before the people of Israel.

After this the king of the Ammonites died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place.And David said,“ I will deal loyally with Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father dealt loyally with me.” So David sent by his servants to console him concerning his father. And David’s servants came into the land of the Ammonites.But the princes of the Ammonites said to Hanun their lord,“ Do you think, because David has sent comforters to you, that he is honoring your father? Has not David sent his servants to you to search the city and to spy it out and to overthrow it?”So Hanun took David’s servants and shaved off half the beard of each and cut off their garments in the middle, at their hips, and sent them away.When it was told David, he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said,“ Remain at Jericho until your beards have grown and then return.”When the Ammonites saw that they had become a stench to David, the Ammonites sent and hired the Syrians of Beth-rehob, and the Syrians of Zobah, 20,000 foot soldiers, and the king of Maacah with 1,000 men, and the men of Tob, 12,000 men.And when David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the host of the mighty men.And the Ammonites came out and drew up in battle array at the entrance of the gate, and the Syrians of Zobah and of Rehob and the men of Tob and Maacah were by themselves in the open country.When Joab saw that the battle was set against him both in front and in the rear, he chose some of the best men of Israel and arrayed them against the Syrians.The rest of his men he put in the charge of Abishai his brother, and he arrayed them against the Ammonites.And he said,“ If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me, but if the Ammonites are too strong for you, then I will come and help you.Be of good courage, and let us be courageous for our people, and for the cities of our God, and may the Lord do what seems good to him.”So Joab and the people who were with him drew near to battle against the Syrians, and they fled before him.And when the Ammonites saw that the Syrians fled, they likewise fled before Abishai and entered the city. Then Joab returned from fighting against the Ammonites and came to Jerusalem.

Concerning the Ammonites. Thus says the Lord:“ Has Israel no sons? Has he no heir? Why then has Milcom dispossessed Gad, and his people settled in its cities?Therefore, behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will cause the battle cry to be heard against Rabbah of the Ammonites; it shall become a desolate mound, and its villages shall be burned with fire; then Israel shall dispossess those who dispossessed him, says the Lord.“ Wail, O Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste! Cry out, O daughters of Rabbah! Put on sackcloth, lament, and run to and fro among the hedges! For Milcom shall go into exile, with his priests and his officials.Why do you boast of your valleys, O faithless daughter, who trusted in her treasures, saying,‘ Who will come against me?’Behold, I will bring terror upon you, declares the Lord God of hosts, from all who are around you, and you shall be driven out, every man straight before him, with none to gather the fugitives.“ But afterward I will restore the fortunes of the Ammonites, declares the Lord.”

After this the Moabites and Ammonites, and with them some of the Meunites, came against Jehoshaphat for battle.
