Judg 11:1 The covenant between Jephthah and the Gileadites, that he should be their head.

Judg 11:12 The treaty of peace between him and the Ammonites is in vain.

Judg 11:29 Jephthah's vow.

Judg 11:32 His conquest of the Ammonites.

Judg 11:34 He performs his vow on his daughter.

Jephthah.

Heb 11:32

called Jephthae. a mighty.

Judg 6:12; 2Kgs 5:1

an harlot. Heb. a woman, an harlot.

Probably {zonah} should be rendered as in Jos 2:1, a hostess, or inn-keeper: so Targum of Jonathan, {wehoo bar ittetha pundekeetha,} "and he was the son of a woman, a tavern-keeper." She was very probably a Canaanite, as she is called, Judg 11:2, a strange woman, {ishah achereth,} "a woman of another race;" and on this account his brethren drove him from the family, as not having a full right to the inheritance.
