28. And the king of the children of Ammon would not hearken to the words of Jephte, which he sent him by the messengers.
29. Therefore the spirit of the Lord came upon Jephte, and going round Galaad, and Manasses, and Maspha of Galaad, and passing over from thence to the children of Ammon,
30. He made a vow to the Lord, saying: If thou wilt deliver the children of Ammon into my hands,
31. Whosoever shall first come forth out of the doors of my house, and shall meet me when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, the same will I offer a holocaust to the Lord.
32. And Jephte passed over to the children of Ammon, to fight against them: and the Lord delivered them into his hands.
33. And he smote them from Aroer till you come to Mennith, twenty cities, and as far as Abel, which is set with vineyards, with a very great slaughter: and the children of Ammon were humbled by the children of Israel.
