  2. Structure and outline

Beginning and end of the section on Jephthah

Judges 10:6–12:7 (ESV)

6 The people of Israel again did what was evil in the sight of the LORD and served the Baals and the Ashtaroth, the gods of Syria, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the Ammonites, and the gods of the Philistines. And they forsook the LORD and did not serve him.

The beginning of the section is Judges 10:6, and the conclusion is Judges 12:7. Usually the story is told with the fate of Jephthah’s daughter as the conclusion, but the episode in Judges 12:1–6 is also part of the story.
