Jephthah’s Battle With Ammon and His Vow

²⁹ Then the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jephthah. He passed through Gilead and Manasseh. Then he passed through Mizpah of Gilead, and from Mizpah of Gilead he went out against the Ammonites.

³⁰ Jephthah had made a vow to the Lord. He said, “If you indeed give the Ammonites into my hand, ³¹ then whoever or whatever^[a] comes out from the doors of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the Ammonites will belong to the Lord, and I will offer it up as a whole burnt offering.”
