## Judges 11:28 in Context (Verses 25–31 KJV)
 
 [25 ](/kjv/judges/11/25) And now *art* thou any thing better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them,
 
 [26 ](/kjv/judges/11/26) While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and her towns, and in Aroer and her towns, and in all the cities that *be* along by the coasts of Arnon, three hundred years? why therefore did ye not recover *them* within that time?
 
 [27 ](/kjv/judges/11/27) Wherefore I have not sinned against thee, but thou doest me wrong to war against me: the LORD the Judge be judge this day between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon.
 
 [28 ](/kjv/judges/11/28) Howbeit the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not unto the words of Jephthah which he sent him.
 
 [29 ](/kjv/judges/11/29) ¶ Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead, and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over *unto* the children of Ammon.
 
 [30 ](/kjv/judges/11/30) And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands,
 
 [31 ](/kjv/judges/11/31) Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD’s, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering.**
