Judges 11:26

Jephthah Rejects Ammonite Claims

²⁵ Do you think you are better than Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever challenge Israel or fight with them? ²⁶ While Israel lived in Heshbon and its villages, and in Aroer and its villages, and in all the cities that are on the banks of the Arnon, three hundred years, why did you not recover them within that time? ²⁷ I have not done you any wrong. You are doing wrong to me by making war on me. Jehovah is the judge. He will decide today between the Israelites and the Ammonites.'
