Jephthah promised YAHWEH: “If you give me victory over the Ammonites, I will offer up to you as a burnt offering the first thing that comes out of my house to greet me when I return in victory. I will sacrifice that one as an offering to you.” So Jephthah crossed the river with his men to fight the Ammonites, and YAHWEH gave him victory. He struck at them from Aroer to the area near Minnith, twenty villages in all, and as far as Abel Keramim. The Israelites brought the Ammonites down to the dust in a great slaughter. When Jephthah arrived home at Mizpah, his daughter came hurrying out of the house to welcome her father home, dancing to the rhythm of tambourines. She was his only child—his one and only.

A good God has good reasons for filling his stories with morally flawed people. Through their failures, his grace is on full display.
