Giudici 11:27 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 11:27

Wherefore I have not sinned against thee
Had done him no injury, not wronged him of anything, nor had taken away any part of his country from him; this Jephthah said in the name of all Israel, of whom he was governor:

but thou doest me wrong to war against me;
meaning that he had no just cause to commence a war against Israel, but acted an injurious part; and seeing things could not be adjusted in an amicable way, but must be decided by the sword, he leaves the affair with the Lord, and appeals to him:

the Lord the Judge;
the Judge of the whole earth, the omniscient God, that knows all things, the right and wrong of every cause, on which side truth and justice lie:

be Judge this day between the children of Israel and the children of
Ammon;
not that he expected a decision of the controversy between them would be made that precise and exact day; but that from henceforward the Lord would appear, by giving success to that party which was in the right in this contest.

Giudici 11:27 In-Context

25 Ed ora vali tu in alcun modo meglio che Balac, figliuolo di Sippor, re di Moab? contese egli con Israele, o fecegli guerra?
26 Essendo Israele dimorato in Hesbon, e nelle terre del suo territorio, e in Aroer, e nelle terre del suo territorio, e in tutte le città che sono lungo l’Arnon, lo spazio di trecent’anni, perchè non le avete voi riscosse in quel tempo?
27 E anche io non t’ho offeso; e tu procedi malvagiamente inverso me, guerreggiando contro a me. Il Signore, che è il Giudice, giudichi oggi fra i figliuoli d’Israele e i figliuoli di Ammon.
28 Ma il re de’ figliuoli di Ammon non attese alle parole, che Iefte gli avea mandato a dire.
29 E lo Spirito del Signore fu sopra Iefte, ed egli traversò Galaad e Manasse, e passò in Mispe di Galaad, e di Mispe di Galaad passò a’ figliuoli di Ammon.
