What was Jephthah’s itinerary?

Juges 11:29 (NEG79)

29 L'Esprit de l'Eternel fut sur Jephthé. Il traversa Galaad et Manassé; il passa à Mitspé de Galaad; et de Mitspé de Galaad, il marcha contre les fils d'Ammon.

The narrator gives only a summary of Jephthah’s itinerary. Jephthah left the Israelite military base at Mizpah of Gilead (Judges 10:17; Judges 11:32), travelled through Gilead into the territory of Manasseh, and then back home to Mizpah of Gilead. From Mizpah he went to where the Ammonites were camped.1
