Judges 11:33

And he smote them from Aroer, even till thou come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and unto the plain of the vineyards, with a very great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel.

God brought deliverance to Israel through Jephthah, defeating the Ammonites with a very great slaughter and subduing them before Israel after eighteen years of oppression that had broken down their power. The victory crushed the enemy's dominion and ended their long ascendancy over God's people. It followed Israel's repentance in putting away its idols and returning to serve the Lord alone. The Lord heard their prayers and began to act on their behalf, and this divine working brought about the deliverance.
