"Jephthah the Gileadite was a great warrior but he was the son of a prostitute." So begins this saga in the book of Judges. Jephthah gives us a glimpse into the chaotic and tumultuous times of the Judges.
Jephthah made two horrific mistakes - and he foolishly did so in the name of the Lord. He made an irrational vow and then he chose to keep his irrational vow. Remember that the book describes the events as they unfolded. It rarely offers commentary on God's opinion of those events. Jephthah was wrong.
Hold on ... Samson's next.
