Judges 11:8

And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah , That is why we have turned to you now, that you may go with us and fight against the Ammonites and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead .

The elders of Gilead said to him, “Nevertheless, we are turning to you now; come with us to fight the Ammonites, and you will be head over all of us who live in Gilead.”

And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, Therefore we turn again to thee now, that thou mayest go with us, and fight against the children of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
