And Jephthah made a vow to the LORD: "If you give the Ammonites into my hands,whatever comes out of the door of my house to meet me when I return in triumph from the Ammonites will be the LORD's, and I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering." - Judges 11 : 30-31

After the two months, she returned to her father, and he did to her as he had vowed. - Judges 11 : 39 (in part).
