Judges 11:1 (King James Version)
Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour, and he was the son of an harlot: and Gilead begat Jephthah.
- Jephthah
- Hebrews 11:32
- called Jephthae
- a mighty.
- 6:12 2 Kings 5:1
- an harlot
- Hebrew a woman, an harlot.
- Probably {zonah} should be rendered as in Joshua 2:1 ,a hostess, or inn-keeper: so Targum of Jonathan, {wehoo bar ittetha pundekeetha,} "and he was the son of a woman, a tavern-keeper." She was very probably a Canaanite, as she is called, ver. 2, ; a strange woman, {ishah achereth,} "a woman of another race;" and on this account his brethren drove him from the family, as not having a full right to the inheritance.
