In Judges 11, Josephat makes a bargain with God that if God will guarantee Josephat’s victory over the Ammonites, then Josephat will make a burnt offering to God of “whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me when I return.”
The problems was that the first thing to come out of the doors of his home after is victory was his daughter, his only child.
So to please God, after the daughter spent two months in the mountains to “bewail her virginity,” she came come and Josephat cooked her.
So, if you don't want to be seen as encouraging men to kill their only children, you might want to be careful about quoting Bible verses, or chosing a name.
Before you start quoting Bible verses as law, I suggest you read your Bible, especially the part about your namesake.

The character in Judges 11 is Jephthah and my screen name is JOSEPHAT so, perhaps before you sling arrows you should learn to read.
