In the New Testament, Jephthah is mentioned in the context of the "heroes of faith" in Hebrews 11:32, highlighting his role as a judge of Israel who delivered the Israelites from the oppression of the Ammonites. Cultural and Historical Background: Jephthah was a judge of Israel, as recorded in the Book of Judges (Judges 11-12). He was the son of Gilead and a harlot, which led to his rejection by his half-brothers. Despite his outcast status, Jephthah became a valiant warrior and was called upon by the elders of Gilead to lead them against the Ammonites. His account is marked by a tragic vow he made to God, which resulted in the sacrifice of his daughter. Jephthah's leadership is noted for his negotiation skills and military prowess.
