Judges 10 - 11
JudgesSteve Gregg
In Judges 10-11, the Israelites repent of their worship of false gods and cry out to the Lord for help. God chooses Jephthah, who was previously expelled from his home, to lead them in battle against the Ammonites. Jephthah makes a foolish vow to offer up as a sacrifice the first thing that comes out of his house to greet him after the battle, and tragically it is his daughter. Despite this, Jephthah stays committed to his vow and offers her as a burnt offering.
