And Gilead's wife bare him sons; and his wife's sons grew up, and they thrust out Jephthah, and said unto him, Thou shalt not inherit in our father's house; for thou art the son of a strange woman.

Verse 2 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.
