07:011:024 Wilt not thou possess that which Chemosh thy god giveth thee
           to possess?  So whomsoever the lord our God shall drive out
           from before us, them will we possess.

07:011:025 And now art thou any thing better than Balak the son of
           Zippor, king of Moab? did he ever strive against Israel, or
           did he ever fight against them,

07:011:026 While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and her towns, and in Aroer and
           her towns, and in all the cities that be along by the coasts
           of Arnon, three hundred years? why therefore did ye not
           recover them within that time?

07:011:027 Wherefore I have not sinned against thee, but thou doest me
           wrong to war against me:  the lord the Judge be judge this day
           between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon.

07:011:028 Howbeit the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not unto
           the words of Jephthah which he sent him.

07:011:029 Then the Spirit of the lord came upon Jephthah, and he passed
           over Gilead, and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead,
           and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over unto the children of
           Ammon.

07:011:030 And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the lord, and said, If thou
           shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine
           hands,

07:011:031 Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of
           my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children
           of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD’s, and I will offer it up
           for a burnt offering.

07:011:032 So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight
           against them; and the lord delivered them into his hands.

07:011:033 And he smote them from Aroer, even till thou come to Minnith,
           even twenty cities, and unto the plain of the vineyards, with
           a very great slaughter.  Thus the children of Ammon were
           subdued before the children of Israel.

07:011:034 And Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his house, and, behold, his
           daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: 
           and she was his only child; beside her he had neither son nor
           daughter.

07:011:035 And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his
           clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! thou hast brought me
           very low, and thou art one of them that trouble me:  for I have
           opened my mouth unto the lord, and I cannot go back.

07:011:036 And she said unto him, My father, if thou hast opened thy
           mouth unto the lord, do to me according to that which hath
           proceeded out of thy mouth; forasmuch as the lord hath taken
           vengeance for thee of thine enemies, even of the children of
           Ammon.
