Juízes 11:5 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 11:5

And it was so, that when the children of Ammon made war against
Israel
Were preparing for it, and had assembled their forces near them, and had began to make some efforts against them:

the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob;
they did not send messengers to him, but went themselves, partly to show greater respect to him, and partly in hopes of better success, being aware of objections he would make, which they could better answer themselves than a deputation.

Juízes 11:5 In-Context

3 Então Jefté fugiu dos seus irmãos e se estabeleceu em Tobe. Ali um bando de vadios uniu-se a ele e o seguia.

4 Algum tempo depois, quando os amonitas entraram em guerra contra Israel,

5 os líderes de Gileade foram buscar Jefté em Tobe.

6 “Venha”, disseram. “Seja nosso comandante, para que possamos combater os amonitas”.

7 Disse-lhes Jefté: “Vocês não me odiavam e não me expulsaram da casa de meu pai? Por que me procuram agora, quando estão em dificuldades?”
