Juges 12:4–6 (NEG79)

4 Jephthé rassembla tous les hommes de Galaad, et livra bataille à Ephraïm. Les hommes de Galaad battirent Ephraïm, parce que les Ephraïmites disaient: Vous êtes des fugitifs d'Ephraïm! Galaad est au milieu d'Ephraïm, au milieu de Manassé!

In this battle report in Judges 12:4–6, there is no mention of the Spirit of the Lord coming on him or giving his enemies into his hand. God is not involved in any way. This is not holy war; it is an intertribal feud without any divine support.
