Denner had reached the vow that whatsoever should first meet Jephtha, when, with his hand extended, his eyebrows drawn together, and his whole attitude expressing the anxiety and fear of the conqueror, he stopped abruptly. Here was an inspiration! Mary woke with a start. "Is it a stroke?" she exclaimed.
In the seventeenth century we find Carissimi greatly advancing oratorio, and composing really noble music. You may remember a revival of his "Jephtha," by Mr. Henry Leslie, a few years back. Scarlatti, Stradella, and others also contributed to this period.
So when Jephtha had ruled six years, he died, and was buried in his own country, Sebee, which is a place in the land of Gilead. Now when Jephtha was dead, Ibzan took the government, being of the tribe of Judah, and of the city of Bethlehem.
And from this grew the offering of human sacrifices, especially one's own children, as Abraham offering Isaac, Jephtha his daughter, and the practice in Israel so severely condemned by some of the earlier prophets, of making "their children pass the fire unto Moloch."
