Judges 11 30:39
And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the Lord, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands, then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the Lord's, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering...and Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his house, and behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances; and she was his only child... Jephthah did rip his clothes and said "Alas my daughter!... I have opened my mouth to the Lord and I cannot turn back..." And it came to pass at the end of the two months, that she returned unto her father, who did with her according to his vow, which he had vowed.
