What does "Judges 11:28" mean?
Judges 11 tells the story of Jephthah, an Israelite leader, who is trying to avoid war with the Ammonites. Before engaging in battle, Jephthah attempts diplomacy. He sends messengers to the Ammonite king to understand why the Ammonites are claiming Israelite land.
Judges 11:28, "However the king of the children of Ammon didn’t listen to the words of Jephthah which he sent him," means that the Ammonite king rejected Jephthah's diplomatic efforts and refused to negotiate or accept Jephthah's explanation for why the land belonged to Israel.
In simpler terms:
Jephthah tried to talk peace with the Ammonite king.
The Ammonite king ignored Jephthah's message and refused to listen to reason.
This rejection of diplomacy sets the stage for the ensuing battle between Israel and Ammon, ultimately leading to Jephthah's tragic vow and sacrifice.
