Judges 11:33 - Forerunner Commentary

Judges 11:33

31 then it will be that whatever comes out of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the people of Ammon, ^ashall surely be the Lord’s, ^band I will offer it up as a burnt offering.”

32 So Jephthah advanced toward the people of Ammon to fight against them, and the Lord delivered them into his hands.

33 And he¹ defeated them from Aroer as far as ^aMinnith—twenty cities—and to Abel Keramim, with a very great slaughter. Thus the people of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel.

Jephthah’s Daughter

34 When Jephthah came to his house at ^aMizpah, there was ^bhis daughter, coming out to meet him with timbrels and dancing; and she was his only child. Besides her he had neither son nor daughter.

35 And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he ^atore his clothes, and said, “Alas, my daughter! You have brought me very low! You are among those who trouble me! For I ^bhave given my word to the Lord, and ^cI cannot go back on it.”
