And Jephthah again sent messengers to the king of the sons of Ammon,
I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war.
If possible, from you being in peace with all men;
Eagerly pursue peace and holiness with all, without which no one will see the Lord,
Let him turn aside from evil, and let him do good. Let him seek peace, and pursue it;
And the king of the sons of Ammon said to the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took my land when he came up out of Egypt, from Arnon even to the Jabbok, and to the Jordan. And now, restore them in peace.
and said to him, So says Jephthah, Israel did not take the land of Moab, and the land of the sons of Ammon.
