Judges 11
1. The covenant between Jephthah and the Gileadites, that he should lead
12. The treaty of peace between him and the Ammonites is in vain
29. Jephthah's vow
32. His conquest of the Ammonites
34. He performs his vow on his daughter.














(4) In process of time.--Marg., after days, implying the time between Jephthah's expulsion in early youth and his mature manhood.

The children of Ammon made war.--The fact that this is introduced as a new circumstance, though it has been fully related in Judges 10:8-9; Judges 10:17-18, probably arises from the use of some new, and probably Gileadite, document in these two chapters.

Verse 4. - This verse brings us back to Judges 10:17, and reunites the two streams of narrative.
