Judges 11:30

"Then the LORD’s Spirit came on Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpah of Gilead, and from Mizpah of Gilead he passed over to the children of Ammon."

Key Reflection

When the LORD’s Spirit came upon Jephthah, signaling a divine call and empowerment, he embarked on his journey, traversing Gilead, Manasseh, and Mizpah of Gilead before arriving at the children of Ammon. This movement would have been understood by the original audience as a significant act of God’s anointing, underscoring Jephthah's mission to lead Israel in defending against their enemies, reflecting the broader narrative of divine intervention and leadership in the book of Judges.
