Waft her, angels, through the skies,
Far above yon azure plain,
Glorious there, like you, to rise,
There, like you, for ever reign.
- Thomas Morell

Bk of Judges 11, the account of Jephtha tells the story of a fearless Israelite warrior recalled from exile to fight for his people, a man not only of great valour but, as it transpires – thanks to an impulsive and fateful pledge – of profound honour, too, destined to assume his place as their worthy ruler.
