A Gileadite judge known for his valor and unusual origin as the son of a prostitute, Jephthah became a military leader after being initially driven away by his half-brothers. He defeated the Ammonites in a victorious campaign but is most remembered for a vow he made to God regarding his return, resulting in the sacrifice of his only daughter. His story illustrates both faithful commitment and the tragic cost of rash vows.
