We come now to Judges chapter 11 and the story of Jephthah of Gilead. Jephthah’s story is a story both of victory and tragedy. The story unfolds for us on the east side of the Jordan River. He was a member of the tribe of Manasseh. Perhaps you remember that the tribe of Manasseh was divided so that half of them lived on the eastern part of the Jordan River and the other half-tribe lived on the western side of the Jordan River.
The Ammonites had gathered together to attack those in the area of Gilead and so the sons of Israel in that area also gathered together, but they had no leader over them. Jephthah was then called to be the deliverer and the Lord used him to bring about a great victory for those tribes of Israel on the eastern side of the Jordan River.
The tragedy of his story is that early in his life he was rejected by his brothers. They all shared the same father, but Jephthah was the son of a harlot so they drove him out so that he would have no inheritance among them.
However, Jephthah is most famous for another tragedy in his life. After he was placed as head over the men of Gilead, he made a tragic vow unto God. That vow becomes a central theme to the text we are studying today. In fact, the victory over the sons of Ammon is almost insignificant in comparison to this vow that Jephthah made to the Lord.
What had happened was that Jephthah made a vow that if God would give the sons of Ammon into his hand, then it would be that whatever came out of the doors of his house to meet him when he returned in victory, it would be the Lord's, and he would offer it as a burnt offering.
