Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead, and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over unto the children of Ammon.

Verse 29 is found in chapter 11 of Judges. The Spirit of the Lord comes upon Jephthah, and he marches against the Ammonites. Before fighting, he makes a vow promising to give the Lord whatever comes out of his house first if he receives victory. God delivers the Ammonites into his hands, and Jephthah conquers a large territory. The text deliberately maintains the tension between the Spirit’s action and the rash vow that follows.
