Whatever Jephthah did to his daughter, it was predicated on his allegiance to God, the moral obligation to honor his vow.

You are an insightful lady. I would add (not that you are implying otherwise, but just for clarification) that if Jephthah's vow was illegal, he couldn't fulfil it and still have the act remain moral. But still, your point is very well taken, in that Jephthah's intentions were directed towards pleasing God, totally unlike Herod's.
