Teen Talk - Judges: Jephthah
Channel: rockyouth
Date: 2022-02-23

We’re jumping ahead to judge number nine- Jephthah. 
Judges 11:1  "Now Jephthah of Gilead was a great warrior. "
The great warrior Jephthah had a rough start to his life. His father Gilead wasn’t married to Jephthah’s mom. Instead, he was married to another woman who he already had several sons with. 
Judges 11:2b  "When these half brothers grew up, they chased Jephthah off the land. “You will not get any of our father’s inheritance,” they said [for you are the son of another woman]. "
Jephthah’s own family rejects him and he runs away from his brothers to the land of Tob. 
You may have guessed that if Jephthah is going to become Israel’s judge, they must be in trouble. The Bible says—Judges 11:4 | At about this time, the Ammonites began their war against Israel.

The Ammonites were very cruel oppressors. Throughout the Old Testament we see their shockingly inhumane practices. It must have been pretty bad because —Judges 11:5-6 | When the Ammonites attacked, the elders of Gilead sent for Jephthah in the land of Tob. The elders said, “Come and be our commander! Help us fight the Ammonites!”

The leaders of Gilead want Jephthah the mighty warrior! This seems like a great opportunity for Jephthah, right? But Jephthah is like, ‘not so fast.’

Thankfully, there's more to this story! Join us!
