Judges 11:32

Judges 11:32

30 And Jephthah ^amade a vow to the Lord, and said, “If You will indeed deliver the people of Ammon into my hands,

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.”

HE OVERCOMES THE AMMONITES. (Judges 11:32-33)

Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon . . . and the Lord delivered them into his hands—He met and engaged them at Aroer, a town in the tribe of Gad, upon the Arnon. A decisive victory crowned the arms of Israel, and the pursuit was continued to Abel (plain of the vineyards), from south to north, over an extent of about sixty miles.
