Judges 11:32

So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon, to fight
against them
As in ( Judges 11:29 ) , after he had made the above vow:

and the Lord delivered them into his hands;

Judges 11:32 In-Context

30 Jephthah made a promise to the Lord. He said, "Hand the Ammonites over to me.

31 If you do, here's what I'll do when I come back from winning the battle. Anything that comes out the door of my house to meet me will belong to you. I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering."

32 Then Jephthah went over to fight against the Ammonites. The LORD handed them over to him.

33 Jephthah destroyed 20 towns between Aroer and the area of Minnith. He destroyed them all the way to Abel Keramim. So Israel brought Ammon under their control.

34 Jephthah returned to his home in Mizpah. And guess who came out to meet him. It was his daughter! She was dancing to the music of tambourines. She was his only child. He didn't have any other sons or daughters.
