"And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was so, that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay;
6Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce it right. Then they took him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan: and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand."12:6-7
The internecine war between the Gileadites and Ephraimites was set in motion by Abimelech who set tribes at each others throat and as we shall see there are more such conflicts in the offing. Earlier to it we are given a ringside view of the spirit of revolt in the camp of Korah, Dathan & Co. The Spirit however gives us it silently working in them which is fought in earnest when the son of Gideon's concubine could get men of Shechem to back his power grab. Here we have now the struggle for pre-eminence between Ephraim and Gilead.
As Jeremiah would say whoever made his reliance on his arm was accursed. "Thus saith theLord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from theLord (Je.17:5)". The number of casualties as a result of the battle was 42x1000. This number connects it to the end times. Thousand signify that period of time. The beast in the latter days was given power for a duration of 42 months.("and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months".-Re.13:5b)). The culprit that caused this conflict was none other than Satan who gave the beast authority to muddy the glory of the word of God. The difference between Shibboleth and Sibboleth is how an ear of corn of corn becomes a burden. "They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn( Job 24:24)".
