Read Judges 11.1-11
In 11.1-11: Jephthah becomes leader of Gilead.
Jephthah's career as a brigand parallels David's early history (1 Sam 22.2).
In verse 6: The elders fist 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 Mispah.
