Read Judges 11.1-11. In 11.1-11: Jephthah becomes leader of Gilead. In verse 3: Jephthah's career as a brigand parallel David's early history (1 Sam 22.2). In verse 6: The elders first offer the apparently temporary position of military commander. In verse 8: Jephthah holds out for a better offer: permanent head or ruler over all the inhabitants of Gilead (10.18). In verse 11: He validates the agreement by reciting it in the witnessing presence of the lord at the shrine at Mizpah. Comments or Questions..
