And they defeated the ones (who)come-from-Efraim.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “Then Jephthah summoned the men of the Gilead region to fight against the men of the tribe of Ephraim. The men of the tribe of Ephraim said, ‘You men from the Gilead region are men who deserted us. Long ago you left us and moved to the area between our tribe and the tribe of Manasseh.’ Because of their saying that, the men of the Gilead region attacked the men of the tribe of Ephraim.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
