What Does Judges 11:15 Mean?
Jephthah opens his reply by flatly denying the king's claim. Israel, he says, took away neither the land of Moab nor the land of Ammon. He begins to set the record straight, answering accusation with a clear account of what actually happened.
Truth has nothing to fear from examination. Jephthah does not bluster; he states the facts and lets them stand. When falsehood is met calmly with the truth, the truth is its own defense, and a righteous cause does not need to overstate itself.
