Jueces 11:1-7

Listen to Jueces 11:1-7
1 Y Jefté galaadita era un guerrero valiente, hijo de una ramera. Y Galaad era el padre de Jefté.
2 Y la mujer de Galaad le dio hijos; y cuando los hijos de su mujer crecieron, echaron fuera a Jefté, y le dijeron: No tendrás heredad en la casa de nuestro padre, porque eres hijo de otra mujer.
3 Jefté huyó de sus hermanos y habitó en la tierra de Tob; y hombres indignos se juntaron con Jefté y salían con él.
4 Después de cierto tiempo sucedió que los hijos de Amón pelearon contra Israel.
5 Y cuando los hijos de Amón pelearon contra Israel, los ancianos de Galaad fueron a traer a Jefté de la tierra de Tob.
6 Y dijeron a Jefté: Ven y sé nuestro jefe para que peleemos contra los hijos de Amón.
7 Entonces Jefté dijo a los ancianos de Galaad: ¿No me odiasteis y me echasteis de la casa de mi padre? ¿Por qué, pues, habéis venido a mí ahora cuando estáis en apuros?
