Judges 10 - 12

Once again, the nation decides to turn from serving the God Who had faithfully blessed them and pursue foreign gods.  After repenting of their sin, God raised up a man named Jephthah to deliver His chosen people.  Jephthah was not above making his own mistakes, and he foolishly took a vow to sacrifice whatever first greeted him upon his return home.  He remained faithful to his vow, even though it meant sacrificing his only daughter.  Jephthah was not the last judge of Israel.  After his death, the nation continued their cycle of disobedience, judgment, repentance and deliverance.
