I think you mean Jephthah.
He was a judge of Israel (from the tribe of Manasseh).
He is discussed in The Bible in the Book of Numbers and Judges.
He was a great leader.
He is also well-known for a vow he made to God. That if Jehovah God helped him, he would dedicate the first person who came out of his household to greet him. It was his daughter. Together, they honored this vow to God.

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."

How does Judas compare to Macbeth?
That would be an apt comparison, but no. He compares him to Jepthah, an old testament figure. Jepthah sacrificed his virgin daughter to God after accidentally promising to. The implication is that Hamlet is angry over Polonius's treatment of his daughter Ophelia.
Why does Hamlet call Polonius Jephthah in line 427?
In the Old Testament (Judges 11 ), Jephthah vows to sacrifice to the Lord the first living thing that comes out of his house if the Lord will give him the victory of the Ammonites. Unfortunately, the first living thing to come out was his own daughter. Thus he was under oath to offer his daughter as a burnt offering. In the same way, Hamlet is insinuating that Polonius is will to sacrifice his own daughter for personal gain.
What was the location of jepthah in the bible?
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.
