SEV Biblia, Chapter 11:6

y dijeron a Jefté: Ven, y serás nuestro capitán, para que peleemos con los hijos de Amón.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Judges 11:6

Verse 6. Come, and be our
captain] The Israelites were assembled in Mizpeh, but were without a captain to lead them against the Ammonites.

And we find, from the conclusion of the preceding chapter, that they offered the command to any that would accept it.


John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 6. And they said unto Jephthah, come and be our captain , etc.] The general of their army, to conduct and lead on their forces; they did not propose him to be their king, being convinced by Abimelech’s conduct that such a step would be wrong; nor did they say anything of his being their judge, having no other view than to serve their present exigence; besides, a judge was not one chosen by the people, but raised up of God, and which honour was conferred on Jephthah afterwards: that we may fight with the children of Ammon ; with judgment, courage, and success; they did not make this proposal to him to save themselves from being engaged in the war, but that they might have one skilful in military affairs at the head of them, to instruct them in the art of war, and lead them on in a regular manner, and animate them by his brave example.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-11 - Men ought not to be
blamed for their parentage, so long as they by their personal merits roll away any reproach. God had forgiven Israel therefore Jephthah will forgive. He speaks not with confidence of his success, knowing how justly God might suffer the Ammonites to prevai for the further punishment of Israel. Nor does he speak with an confidence at all in himself. If he succeed, it is the Lord deliver them into his hand; he thereby reminds his countrymen to look up to God as the Giver of victory. The same question as here, in fact, is put to those who desire salvation by Christ. If he save you, will ye be willing that he shall rule you? On no other terms will he save you. I he make you happy, shall he make you holy? If he be your helper, shal he be your Head? Jephthah, to obtain a little worldly honour, wa willing to expose his life: shall we be discouraged in our Christia warfare by the difficulties we may meet with, when Christ has promise a crown of life to him that overcometh?
