Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour, and he was the son of an harlot: and Gilead begat Jephthah.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 1 is found in chapter 11 of Judges. Jephthah is introduced as a mighty warrior but also as the son of a foreign woman and rejected by his brothers. Driven away from his family, he gathers around himself men without resources and is later called by the elders of Gilead when the Ammonite threat appears. The narrative immediately establishes the tension between social rejection and political usefulness: the one who was excluded becomes the leader the community needs.
