In this episode, the spirit of the Lord comes upon Jephthah and he promises to sacrifice to God as a burnt offering whatever comes out to greet him when he returns from slaughtering the Ammonites. God delivered the Ammonites into his hand, and he smote twenty of their cities in a very great slaughter.
When he returned home after the slaughter, his daughter came out to greet him. And he did to her what he promised God he would do. (He sacrificed her as a burnt offering.)
