The story about Jephthah is placed in the middle of the Book of Judges (Judges 10:6-12:7). Therefore we recognise in this figure an important link in the quest for the model of a ruler in the period of pre-monarchic Israel. In order to reconstruct the image of Jephthah as a leader the method of narration has been applied. The narrative programme has confirmed that Jephthah, while seeking to find a solution for the crisis of power, became the paradigm of a ruler. In the light of narrative techniques used by the narrator, Jephthah fails as a paradigm, for he loses his daughter and he is seen by the generation of Ephraim as an unfulfilled ruler. There are three reasons at the source of his unfulfilled power: treating power as a means to satisfy one’s ambition; rejecting power as a service on behalf of the good of his subjects; eventually, no roots in the tradition, history, and religion of the fellowship in which is he to govern.

The primary narratives in the Book of Judges are constructed aroundthe recurring cycle of apostasy – oppression – plea for divine deliverancethrough the judge (2,10–3,6; 3,7˗16,31). Three times, however, these narrativesare interrupted by brief notices on six additional men who exercisedleadership in Israel during the pre-monarchic period of Israel’s settlement inCanaan (3,31; 10,1-5; 12,8-15). The brevity of the Shamgar, Tola, Jair, Ibzan,Elon, Abdon traditions and their unconventional literary nature within thecontext of the narrative cycles of oppression and deliverance have led criticalscholarship generally to recognize these verses as late insertions. The minorjudges are named in two summary notes framing the Jephthah narratives(10,6–12,7) in 10,1-5 and 12,8-15. Except for Shamgar and Tola, who is alsocredited with saving Israel, these do not seem to fit the pattern of the maincharacters in the book. But this does not mean that these governors playeda less important role than the major judges. The differences in presentationderive from the sources used by the Deuteronomistic narrator (family/tribalchronicles; folk narratives) and his literary and theological concept.
