12Then Jephthah sent men to the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What have you against me that you have come to make war against my land?
13And the king of the children of Ammon said to the men sent by Jephthah, Because Israel, when he came up out of Egypt, took away my land, from the Arnon as far as the Jabbok and as far as Jordan: so now, give me back those lands quietly.
14And Jephthah sent again to the king of the children of Ammon,
15And said to him, This is the word of Jephthah: Israel did not take away the land of Moab or the land of the children of Ammon;
16But when they came up from Egypt, Israel went through the waste land to the Red Sea and came to Kadesh;
17Then Israel sent men to the king of Edom saying, Let me now go through your land; but the king of Edom did not give ear to them. And in the same way he sent to the king of Moab, but he would not; so Israel went on living in Kadesh.
18Then he went on through the waste land and round the land of Edom and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and put up their tents on the other side of the Arnon; they did not come inside the limit of Moab, for the Arnon was the limit of Moab.
