Jephthah Defeats Ephraim

1 And the men of Ephraim assembled, and went northward, and said to Jephthah, Why didst thou pass over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee; we will burn thy house upon thee with fire. 2 And Jephthah said to them, I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, ye delivered me not out of their hands. 3 And when I saw that ye delivered me not, I put my life in my hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivered them into my hand: why then have ye come up to me this day, to fight against me? 4 Then Jephthah collected all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim: and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye Gileadites are fugitives of Ephraim among the Ephraimites, and among the Manassites. 5 And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was so, that when those Ephraimites who had escaped, said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said to him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said, No; 6 Then said they to 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.

7 And Jephthah judged Israel six years: then died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.

Ibzan, Elon, and Abdon

8 And after him Ibzan of Beth-lehem judged Israel. 9 And he had thirty sons and thirty daughters whom he sent abroad, and took in thirty daughters from abroad for his sons: and he judged Israel seven years. 10 Then died Ibzan, and was buried at Beth-lehem.

11 And after him Elon, a Zebulonite, judged Israel, and he judged Israel ten years. 12 And Elon the Zebulonite died, and was buried in Ajalon in the country of Zebulun.

Jack knows Robby has finally figured out what he feels for Frank, his beautiful, intelligent, nerdy, empathetic man who wears too many scars earned in too short of time. Jack knows Robby is trying to take his boy back, both professionally and finally personally, but Jack will never let him go.

It's Jack that Frank calls when the cravings get too much. It's Jack, Frank turns too when Robby's harsh words from their argument in the ambulance bay, when the words on the roof are too loud despite the months of silence from the actual man himself. It's Jack who convinced Frank to stay, to try to be more in Robby's ED with him.

Jack, who now has a key to Frank's apartment, just in case. It's Jack who has seen how good Frank is from the beginning, but not in the idealised version Robby did, but as a man made of flesh and bone and mistakes. Tells Robby all of this, tells him he has lost the right to Frank, that Frank was his now, and he would never give him up, and as soon as Frank was a year sober, he was going to make his move and make Frank his in every way possible.

He knows Robby will take it not as a warning but a threat, a challnege, and maybe it is one. Maybe he wants to see how badly Robby will finally fight for the man he will never have, or maybe he doesn't care.

Frank is Jack's everything when Frank was once Robby's nothing, and he will never forget that. He won't let Robby forget that either.

He never let Frank forget it, he never wants his boy to ever doubt, to ever question, to ever feel anything but loved and cherished and safe.

Jack seeing how hard Robby rode Frank that first day and then disappeared. Jack slowly becoming more protective of Frank, being his rock, stepping in. Jack who builds a solid relationship with Frank .
