Who is Jephthah?
Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty warrior, the son of a harlot, who was driven out by his brothers but later made head and captain over the elders of Gilead (Judges 11:1, Judges 11:11). He defeated the Ammonites after vowing a vow to the LORD (Judges 11:30, Judges 11:32), a vow that fell on his only child, his daughter, when she came out to meet him (Judges 11:34).
