If you bring me back . . . , then I will indeed become your leader!​—Judges 11:9.

Jephthah’s thorough grasp of Israel’s history gave him a clear picture of what was right and what was wrong in Jehovah’s eyes. (Judges 11:12-27) Godly principles that were embedded in the Mosaic Law molded Jephthah’s thinking as well as his heart. He knew that Jehovah disapproved of holding grudges; rather, God required that His people love one another. The Law also taught that a person must not ignore the needs of others, even of someone who “hates” him. (Exodus 23:5; Lev. 19:17, 18) Examples of faithful ones like Joseph, who showed mercy to his brothers​—even though “they began to hate him”—​may also have influenced Jephthah’s response. (Genesis 37:4; 45:4, 5) Meditating on such examples would have helped Jephthah to choose a course of action that was pleasing to Jehovah. The conduct of his brothers no doubt hurt him deeply, but he would not hold back from serving Jehovah and His people.​
