Judges 11:6 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

And they said unto Jephthah, Come, and be our captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon. Come, and be our captain - The Israelites were assembled in Mizpeh, but were without a captain to lead them against the Ammonites. And we find, from the conclusion of the preceding chapter, that they offered the command to any that would accept it.
