Even Jephthah is more indicated. It is a name in Habreo, of a Biblical character that appears in the Holy Bible in the Book of Judges. According to this version he was a Judge who presided over Israel for 6 years. In some texts it appears as Yephthah. He defeated the Ammonites in battle. He was a member of the tribe of Gad.
Handel's last oratorio, which includes one of the most beautiful arias, in which Jephthah asks the angels to mezsit his daughter Iphis when she reaches heaven. Jephthah was one of the biblical judges who fought against the Ammonites. He foolishly promised to offer Yahweh the first creature he saw upon returning victorious.
