Verse 36:[1] And she said unto him, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth unto the LORD, (Num. 30:2) do to me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth; forasmuch as (2 Sam. 18:19, 31) the LORD hath taken vengeance for thee of thine enemies, even of the children of Ammon.
[Do to me whatever thou hast promised] See and admire in this daughter the affection, obedience, reverence, and love of her father, by which she offers herself to death (Lapide).
Do to me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth; do not for my sake make thyself a transgressor; I freely give my consent to thy vow; wherewith, and with the success of his arms, he had now acquainted her, though it be not here expressed. Forasmuch as the Lord hath taken vengeance for thee of thine enemies; I am willing to bear my burden, being abundantly satisfied with the great deliverance which God hath given to his people by thy hands.
