On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

This is the man that must save Israel. That people had by their idolatry made themselves children of whoredoms, and aliens from God and his covenant, and therefore, though God upon their repentance will deliver them, yet, to mortify them and remind them of their sin, he chooses to do it by a bastard and an exile.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

It is not deemed dishonorable when the expeditions are directed against those out of his own tribe or nation. Jephthah's mode of life was similar to that of David when driven from the court of Saul. THE GILEADITES COVENANT WITH JEPHTHAH.
