29. The Spirit of the Lord came on Jephthah, who traveled through Gilead and Manasseh, and then through Mizpah of Gilead. He crossed over to the Ammonites from Mizpah of Gilead.
30. Jephthah made this vow to the Lord: “If You will hand over the Ammonites to me,
31. whatever comes out of the doors of my house to greet me when I return in peace from the Ammonites will belong to the Lord, and I will offer it as a burnt offering.”
32. Jephthah crossed over to the Ammonites to fight against them, and the Lord handed them over to him.
