There is so much wrong in this chapter that it might be easy to miss the right things. First, Jephthah tried to seek a peaceful solution with the enemy. Second, Jephthah placed the victory in the hands of God and said it would be God who would decide the outcome, and not his own skills. Most everything else in this chapter can go under the title, "Do not repeat." As I have said before, some things are here not as an example to repeat but a lesson to learn from the stupidity of others.
