Judges study chapter

Judges 12

c. 1085 BCJephthah defeats jealous Ephraim by the “Shibboleth” test; Ibzan, Elon, and Abdon then judge Israel.

The Ephraimites, angry at not being called to the battle, threaten Jephthah, who defeats them and exposes fugitives by their inability to say “Shibboleth.” Forty-two thousand Ephraimites fall. Jephthah judges six years, followed by the minor judges Ibzan, Elon, and Abdon.
