Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 7. - Did not ye hate me, etc. Jephthah's reproach to the "elders of Gilead" strongly favours the idea that "his brethren" in ver. 3, and the "father's house" in ver. 2, are to be taken in the wider sense of fellow-tribesmen and "house of fathers," and that his expulsion was not the private act of his own brothers training him out of the house they lived in, but a tribal act (taking tribe in the sense of house of fathers), in which the elders of Gilead bad taken a part. If this is so, it removes a great difficulty about Jephthah being Gilead's son, which it is very hard to reconcile with chronology.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(7) Did not ye hate me?--The elders of Gilead must at least have permitted his expulsion by his brethren.Therefore.--i.e., with the express desire to repair the old wrong.
