Judg. 11:7      Judg. 11:9

Judges 11:8

And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, "That is why we have come to you now, that you may go with us and fight against the sons of Ammon, and you shall be our head (our leader – Hebr. rosh) over all the inhabitants of Gilead."
[The same word (Hebr. rosh) is used in Josh. 10:18. There is a significant difference between being qatsin (verse 6) and rosh (verse 8). A leader, qatsin, is a leader/chief with limited responsibility, and this may also apply to a limited period of time. For example, a captain in the army who has been given a mission for a specific part of the army and perhaps only for a specific battle/task. A leader, rosh, is a permanent leader/chief, such as a tribal chief or king, who has full responsibility in all areas for all the people in his group for as long as he lives.]
