| Judges 11:5 | And as they pressed hard upon them, the ancients of Galaad went to fetch Jephte out of the land of Tob to help them: | Hard. Hebrew, "and when the Ammonites made war." As both armies were encamped near Maspha, they could hardly avoid having some skirmishes. But the Israelites durst not come to a pitched battle till they had Jephte at their head. (Haydock) --- The Ammonites infested them every year with similar incursions, ver. 12. (Calmet) |
