I think you are referring to Jephthah, a man who gave a special vow to Jehovah God.
He was an Israelite, from the tribe of Manasseh and served as a judge in ancient Israel. He was a notable man who was known for his leadership abilities and he became the head of Gilead.
He is most known for his vow to God that he would offer up the first member of his household who came to greet him, if God would grant him a victory. The first member who came out was his daughter. She was now promised to give the remainder of her life in service at the temple. His daughter was a fine example to everyone in that she willingly submitted and fulfilled her fathers vow.
He is discussed in The Bible book of Judges.

How did shakespeare use the bible in his plays?
The Bible formed a part of the cultural background which Shakespeare and his audience shared. He therefore felt at ease alluding to Biblical stories and texts and did so constantly. He even took one of his titles from scripture: Measure for Measure. The passage is For with what judgement ye judge, ye shalbe judged, and with what measure ye mete, it shalbe measured to you again. (Matthew 7:2; Geneva Bible). Shakespeare's characters quote from the Bible with ease: consider Hamlet's "O Jepthah, judge of Israel, what a treasure hadst thou." Polonius is unfortunately not aware of the story, so when he finds out that Jepthah's treasure was "one fair daughter who he loved passing well", he thinks it is flattery. Hamlet knows that it is not and that Jepthah, like Polonius, sacrificed his daughter for his own ends. Shylock's use of a Biblical argument to justify charging interest on loans induces Antonio's sneering remark that "The devil can cite scripture to his own purposes."
