Judges 11:14

Jephthah

12 Then Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the Ammonites, saying, “What do you have against me that you have come to fight against my land?”

13 The king of the Ammonites answered Jephthah’s messengers, “When Israel came up out of Egypt, they seized my land, from the Arnon to the Jabbok and all the way to the Jordan. Now, therefore, restore it peaceably.”

Jephthah again sent messengers to the king of the Ammonites

15 to tell him, “This is what Jephthah says: Israel did not take away the land of Moab or of the Ammonites.

16 But when Israel came up out of Egypt, they traveled through the wilderness to the Red Sea and came to Kadesh.
