Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah
This phrase indicates divine empowerment for leadership and battle, a recurring theme in the Book of Judges. The Spirit of the LORD coming upon individuals is seen with other judges like Othniel (Judges 3:10) and Gideon (Judges 6:34). This empowerment signifies God's approval and presence, enabling Jephthah to fulfill his role as a deliverer of Israel. It highlights the necessity of divine intervention for success in Israel's battles.

and he passed through Gilead and Manasseh
Gilead and Manasseh were regions east of the Jordan River. Gilead was known for its balm, a healing ointment, and was a significant area for the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. This movement through Gilead and Manasseh suggests Jephthah's rallying of support and troops from these territories, emphasizing the unity and cooperation needed among the tribes of Israel to face external threats.

then through Mizpah of Gilead
Mizpah of Gilead was a significant gathering place for the Israelites, often associated with covenant-making and military assembly (Judges 10:17). The name Mizpah means "watchtower," indicating a place of strategic importance. This location served as a rallying point for Jephthah's forces, underscoring the communal aspect of Israel's defense efforts.

And from there he advanced against the Ammonites
The Ammonites were descendants of Lot and frequent adversaries of Israel. Their conflict with Israel often revolved around territorial disputes and historical grievances. Jephthah's advance against the Ammonites marks the beginning of a divinely sanctioned military campaign. This action reflects the cyclical pattern in Judges of Israel's apostasy, oppression by enemies, crying out to God, and deliverance through a judge. Jephthah's leadership and the Spirit's empowerment are crucial for Israel's deliverance from Ammonite oppression.

Persons / Places / Events

What Does Judges 11:29 Mean
Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah

• Scripture presents this moment as a literal, sudden empowerment (Judges 3:10; 6:34).

• God’s Spirit equips ordinary people for extraordinary tasks—compare Samson inJudges 14:6 and Saul in1 Samuel 10:10.

• The verse signals divine approval of Jephthah’s mission; without the Spirit, victory would be impossible (Zechariah 4:6;Acts 1:8).

and he passed through Gilead and Manasseh

• Jephthah first rallies his own tribal territory: eastern Gilead (half-tribe of Manasseh) and the western allotment of Manasseh across the Jordan (Numbers 32:39–41;Joshua 17:1).

• Moving through these regions allowed him to muster fighting men and build unity, echoing Gideon’s circuit inJudges 7:23.

• The geography underscores the real, physical landscape of Israel’s deliverance—no myth, but actual places God entered (Deuteronomy 34:1;2 Kings 10:33).

then through Mizpah of Gilead

• Mizpah served as Jephthah’s headquarters (Judges 11:11).

• “Mizpah” means watchtower; here the people gathered for strategy, worship, and vow-making, much like Israel’s later assemblies at Mizpah in1 Samuel 7:5–11.

• The stop highlights preparation paired with dependence on God (Psalm 20:7;Proverbs 21:31).

And from there he advanced against the Ammonites

• Having received the Spirit, mobilized Israel, and organized at Mizpah, Jephthah now marches to battle (Judges 11:32).

• The Ammonites had oppressed Israel eighteen years (Judges 10:8–9). Jephthah’s advance fulfills God’s promise to deliver His people when they repent (Judges 10:15-16).

• The pattern—Spirit empowerment, gathering, advancing—foreshadows New Testament mission strategy: filled with the Spirit, believers gather, then go (Acts 2:1-4, 42-47; 13:2-3).

summary

Judges 11:29 records a decisive chain of events: God’s Spirit clothes Jephthah, he rallies Israel across Gilead and Manasseh, organizes at Mizpah, and moves out against a long-standing enemy. The verse answers “Who empowers deliverance?”—the LORD Himself. It reminds us that real places, real people, and real battles become arenas for God’s faithful intervention when His Spirit leads.

(29)The Spirit of the Lord came upon Jephthah.--A weaker expression is used than that which is applied to Gideon inJudges 6:34. It implies, as R. Tanchum rightly says, that he was endowed with the courage and wisdom without which success would have been impossible. The phrase no more involves a complete inspiration of Jephthah than it does in the case of Samson; nor is it meant to imply the least approval of many of his subsequent actions. It furnished the power which he needed to work out the deliverance--and that only. To hold up characters like Jephthah and Samson as religious examples,except(as is done inHebrews 11:32) in the one special characteristic of faith displayed at memorable crises, is to sacrifice the whole spirit of Scripture to the mis-interpretation of a phrase.

(29)He passed over Gilead and Manasseh.--Rather,he went through(Vulg.,circuiens).His object clearly was to collect levies and rouse the tribes--"He swept through the land from end to end to kindle the torch of war and raise the population" (Ewald).

Passed over Mizpeh.--Perhaps, as in the next clause,to Mizpeh.

Passed over unto the children of Ammon.--i.e.,went to attack them.

Verse 29. -Then the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jephthah, as upon Othniel, upon Gideon, and upon Samson (Judges 3:16;Judges 6:34;Judges 13:25;Judges 14:19;Judges 15:14).He passed over,i.e. he went all through,Gilead, and Manasseh, - for the purpose, no doubt, of collecting forces, -and passed over Mizpeh. It should be toMizpeh. Mizpeh was the capital and mustering place of his army, and his base of operations (Judges 10:17;Judges 11:11, note). Having organised his forces at Mizpeh of Gilead,he passed over to the children of Ammon,i.e. commenced his attack upon the invaders, as it is stated in ver. 32, which takes up the thread of the narrative.
