The document contains chapter 11 of the Book of Judges from the Holy Bible King James Version. It describes Jephthah, a mighty man of Gilead, who was rejected by his brothers but later called by the elders to lead the people of Gilead against the Ammonites. Jephthah agrees to fight the Ammonites after trying unsuccessfully to negotiate with them through messengers, promising to sacrifice whatever comes out of his house first if he is successful in battle.
