Orang
Yefta
Yang dibebaskan Allah, atau penerobos; seorang “pahlawan yang gagah perkasa” yang membebaskan Israel dari penindasan orang Amon (Hakim-hakim 11:1-33), dan menjadi hakim atas Israel selama enam tahun (Hakim-hakim 12:7). Dia digambarkan sebagai “orang pegunungan Gilead yang liar dan berani, semacam Elia versi pejuang.” Setelah empat puluh lima tahun yang relatif tenang, Israel kembali murtad, dan “beberapa waktu kemudian, bani Amon berperang melawan orang Israel” (Hakim-hakim 11:5). Dalam kesesakan mereka, para tua-tua Gilead pergi menjemput Yefta dari tanah Tob, tempat pelariannya setelah diusir secara tidak adil oleh saudara-saudaranya dari warisan ayahnya (2), dan orang-orang mengangkatnya sebagai kepala dan pemimpin mereka. Para “tua-tua Gilead” dalam keadaan terdesak meminta bantuannya, dan dia segera memimpin peperangan melawan Amon. Dua kali dia mengirim utusan kepada raja bani Amon, tetapi sia-sia. Perang tak terhindarkan. Umat menuruti panggilannya, dan “Roh TUHAN menguasai Yefta.” Sebelum maju berperang, dia bernazar bahwa jika berhasil, dia akan mempersembahkan sebagai “kurban bakaran” apa pun yang pertama kali keluar dari pintu rumahnya untuk menyambutnya saat kembali. Kekalahan orang Amon mutlak. “Ia memukul kalah mereka dari Aroer sampai ke Minnith, dua puluh kota banyaknya, dan sampai ke Abel-Keramim, dengan pembunuhan yang amat besar” (Hakim-hakim 11:33). Orang-orang Efraim merasa terhina karena tidak diajak oleh Yefta untuk pergi berperang melawan Amon. Hal ini memicu perang antara orang Gilead dan Efraim (Hakim-hakim 12:4), yang menewaskan banyak orang Efraim. “Kemudian matilah Yefta, orang Gilead itu, lalu dikuburkan di salah satu kota di Gilead” (7).
