*Judges 11:2 MSG*
Meanwhile Gilead's legal wife had given him other sons, and when they grew up, his wife's sons threw Jephthah out. They told him: "You're not getting any of our family inheritance - you're the son of another woman."
Judges 11:7* But Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead: "But you hate me. You kicked me out of my family home. So why are you coming to me now? Because you are in trouble. Right?"
*Judges 11:8* The elders of Gilead replied, "That's it exactly. We've come to you to get you to go
with us and fight the Ammonites. You'll be the head of all of us, all the Gileadites."
*Judges 11:9* Jephthah addressed the elders of Gilead, "So if you bring me back home to fight the Ammonites and God gives them to me, I'll be your head - is that right?"
*Judges 11:11*
Jephthah went along with the elders of Gilead. The people made him their top man and general. And Jephthah repeated what he had said before God at Mizpah.ππΌ
ππΌThey threw Jephthah out... they rejected him, but God occasioned a need and Jephthah became the only answer to the
nagging problem.

*Hosea 1:10b MSG*
...In the very place where they were once named Nobody, they will be named God's Somebody.
βοΈLike Jephthah, the very ones that said you were no good, that you were not qualified...
βοΈThe same ones that thrust you out because of envy are
about to send for you.
