Matthew Poole and continuators on Judges 11:11

11 Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and captain over them: and Jephthah uttered all his words before the LORD in Mizpeh.

Objectively so called, i. e. All that was spoken, not onely by him, but also by the Elders of Gilead, concerning him, and concerning this whole Transaction, and the conditions of it; or, all his matters, the whole business.

i. e. Before the Publick Congregation, wherewith God was usually, and then especially present; see Exod. 20. 24. Deut. 6. 25. Mat. 18. 10. Or, before the Altar, which possibly they did erect upon this special occasion, by Gods Permission: Or, in Gods Presence, calling him to be present, as a Witness and Judge between them.
