Jephthah is from Gilead, and his father's name is Gilead. He is the son of a harlot. Because Jephthah was the son of a strange woman, his half-brothers did not want him to share their inheritance. They thrust Jephthah out from among them, and he went to Tob and became a mighty warrior. In the process of time, the children of Ammon rose against the town of Gilead. Jephthah's half-brothers sent for him to lead them in their fight against Ammon. He propositioned them to make him their leader if he successfully defeated the Ammonites, and they agreed. At first, Jephthah tried to get peace through diplomatic channels, but it failed. Then he vowed to sacrifice the first thing he sees coming out of his house when he returns home if God gives him the victory over the Ammonites. God gave him the win over the Ammonites, but his daughter, his only child, came out to greet him when he returned home. Jephthah realizing his vow, tore his clothes in disgrace. Jephthah judged Israel for six years. When he died, they buried him in the city of Gilead.
