Judges 11:2 in context

The verses around it, from Judges 11.

1 Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valor; he was the son of a prostitute, and Gilead was his father.

2 And Gilead’s wife bore him sons who grew up, drove Jephthah out, and said to him, “You shall have no inheritance in our father’s house, because you are the son of another woman.”

3 So Jephthah fled from his brothers and settled in the land of Tob, where worthless men gathered around him and traveled with him.

4 Some time later, when the Ammonites fought against Israel

5 and made war with them, the elders of Gilead went to get Jephthah from the land of Tob.

6 “Come,” they said, “be our commander, so that we can fight against the Ammonites.”
