Jephthah seemed to be a tragedy hero in the Bible. He was illegal child of his father with a prostitude. He was expelled by his half brothers to be a homeless fugutives. Then at the crisis of the Israelite, he responded to the summon to take risk in fighting against their enemies. He seemed not having been taught about how to swear to the Lord.

After that tragedy, he even had to face the challenge of the tribe of Ephraimites with violent fighting.

When Abraham responded to Yahweh's challenge to offer up his only son Isaac, the angel from the Lord intervened at the last minute to spare Isaac from being burned up as human sacrifice. But for Jephthah, the Bible was silent. There were all kinds of speculations upon the actual fate of his daughter. Some scholars would speculate that Jephthah's daughter just keep her virginity all her life without being married. Some would say that she was actually burned up as a holocost burnt offering after spending two months to cry for her untimely and premature death...
