Jephthah: Heb 11:32, called Jephthae
a mighty: Jdg 6:12, 2Ki 5:1
an harlot: Heb. a woman
an harlot: Probably zonah should be rendered as in Jos 2:1, a hostess, or inn-keeper, so Targum of Jonathan, wehoo bar ittetha pundekeetha, "and he was the son of a woman, a tavern-keeper." She was very probably a Canaanite, as she is called, Jdg 11:2, a strange woman, ishah achereth, "a woman of another race;" and on this account his brethren drove him from the family, as not having a full right to the inheritance.
Reciprocal: Gen 19:38 - children 1Sa 12:11 - Jephthah 1Ki 3:16 - harlots
