When he had gotten the victory against his enemies, he returned home to Mizpa: for there he dwelled. And therefore we heard before how he made the covenant with the Gileadites before the Lord in Mizpa. Here let us note with how great a moderation godly princes in those times made wars, they prolonged them no longer then necessity required, but as soon as their enemies were tamed, they straightway returned home. So also the dictator among the Romans, his enemies being vanquished and all things accomplished according to his mind, he straight way forsook his office of a Magistrate. Jephthah is said not to have had other children of himself: because peradventure he had by his wife children in law. Yea and he might have children which were adopted. Of him self he had begotten only this daughter. And this is put in, that we might understand how heard and bitter it was unto him, to slay his only daughter.1 She went out to mete her father by the way with timbrels and dances, to rejoice for his victory, and to singe a song of victory, for so were the things that were nobly done by princes wont to be celebrated with dances and songs. The maiden also when Saul returned, came and met him with rejoicing. And undoubtedly such rejoicings were nothing else then public giving of thanks.
When he had gotten the victory agaynst his enemyes, he returned home to Mizpa: for there he dwelled. And therfore we heard before how he made the couenant with the Gileadites before the Lord in Mizpa. Here let vs note with howe great a moderation godly princes in those tymes made warres, they prolonged them no longer then necessity required, but as soone as their enemyes wer tamed, they strayghtway returned home. So also the dictator among the Romaynes, his enemyes beyng vanquished and all thinges accomplished accordyng to his minde, he straight way forsooke his office of a Magistrate. Iiphtah is sayd not to haue had other children of himselfe: bycause peraduenture he had by his wyfe children in lawe. Yea and he might haue children whiche were adopted. Of him selfe he had begotten onely this daughter. And this is put in, that we might vnderstande howe hearde and bitter it was vnto hym, to slaye hys onely daughter.1 She went out to mete her father by the waye with timbrelles and daunces, to reioyse for hys victory, and to singe a songe of victorye, for so were the thynges that were nobly done by prynces wonte to be celebrated with daunces and songes. The mayden also when Saul returned, came and met hym with reioysing. And vndoubtedly suche reioysinges were nothyng elles then publique geuyng of thankes.
