"If you give me a clear victory over the Ammonites, then I'll give to God whatever comes out of the door of my house to meet me when I return in one piece from among the Ammonites—I'll offer it up in a sacrificial burnt offering."
What/who did Jephthah think was going to come out of his house? A slave? The dog?
His one and only daughter said, "Dear father, if you made a vow to God, do to me what you vowed; God did his part and saved you from your Ammonite enemies."
You made a vow (or your parents and Godparents did on your behalf).
God has done his part to save us.
Will we keep our vows?
He is our God. Will we continue to be his people in the world or turn and worship our own gods?
