Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(3) I put my life in my hands.--Rather, in the hollow of my hand (caph). (See for the phrase, Psalm 119:109; Job 13:14; 1Samuel 20:5; 1Samuel 28:21.) It expresses extreme peril.The Lord delivered them into my hand.--Here the word for "hand" is yad. Here, as he had done in arguing with the king of the Ammonites (Judges 11:21-24), Jephthah appeals to the decision of Jehovah, as proving that he had done rightly. . . .
