Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon . . . and the Lord delivered them into his hands--He met and engaged them at Aroer, a town in the tribe of Gad, upon the Arnon. A decisive victory crowned the arms of Israel, and the pursuit was continued to Abel (plain of the vineyards), from south to north, over an extent of about sixty miles.

Jephthah passed over unto the

on Judges 11:32-33

The war gets two verses and the vow gets eight, which is the chapter's own weighting of what happened. Aroer stands on the Arnon and Minnith lies inland, so the twenty cities fall across the very strip the speech had just argued about. Ammon is subdued and the narrative turns straight back to Mizpeh, where the words of verse 30 were spoken.
