Jephthah
Jephthah was a judge in Israel for about six years. He had been driven from his home in Gilead by his envious half-brothers. Years later, his fame as a bold and successful captain was carried back to his home, and the Gileadites asked him to be the captain of their army against the Ammonites. Jephthah agreed. Hoping for God's help in battle, he made a solemn vow that he would offer up as a burnt offering the first thing that would come out to meet him upon his return home following a victorious battle. The Ammonites were soundly defeated, but when Jephthah returned to his home in Mizpeh, he was horrified to find that the first thing to greet him was his daughter.
