I Wanted to Be Like Jephthah's Daughter.
What did Jephthah's own people do to him?
Why did Jephthah's daughter need to be encouraged?
When Jephthah returns from battle,
Jephthah judged Israel six years.
What do Jephthah's words recorded at Judges 11:
And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD,
Jephthah vowed a vow to Yahweh,
Then Jephthah fled from his brethren,
Then Jephthah fled from his brothers,
And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead,
What did Jephthah vow, and what was the result?
And they said unto Jephthah, Come, and be our captain,
Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour,
key to remaining steadfast in serving God, as Jephthah's daughter did.
What do Jephthah's words recorded at Judges 11: 35 reveal about his faith?
According to the Bible, Jephthah sacrificed his daughter after making a vow(Judges 11).
And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, The LORD be witness between us,
the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob.
During the time of Israel's judges, Jephthah's daughter willingly complied with her father's vow
Jephthah said:“ I have opened my mouth to Jehovah,
and I am unable to turn back.”.
What sort of parental example did Jephthah set for his daughter, and with what outcome?
And said unto him, Thus saith Jephthah, Israel took not away the land of Moab,
and said unto Jephthah, Wherefore passedst thou over to fight against the children of Ammon,
What did Jephthah and Hannah vow, and how easy was
it for them to pay their vow?
Jephthah had no son,
and his only daughter would never be able to marry and bear him grandchildren.
I have learned that this is the
key to remaining steadfast in serving God, as Jephthah's daughter did.
Every day, Jephthah and his daughter would have been reminded
of the disastrous consequences of unfaithfulness to Jehovah.
Jephthah says this:
Israel did not take the land of Moab, nor the land of the sons of Ammon.
