And Jehovah said to the children of Israel, Did I not from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines?

And the people, the chief men of Gilead, said one to another, Who is the man that will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? he shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
