212 - Jephthah: Cripples, Bastards, and Broken Things - a podcast by Caleb Howard

A bastard rises up the ranks to be the leader of his people. In an attempt to thank God for his recent change in status, he does a stupid but absolutely run-of-the-mill act for the book of Judges that ends up humiliating him and putting his story in the Bible as an example of what NOT to do. The Hebrew women are absolutely horrified as they learn a new way they can be mistreated, and the main character ends up going on a murder spree when some people get mad they weren't invited to his killing party.
