I guess that you are talking about how Hamlet calls Polonius "Old Jeptha". In the biblical story, Jeptha made a vow that if he succeeded in his battle he would sacrifice the first thing that came out of his house when he returned. He did succeed, but when he returned, the first thing that came out of his house was his daughter, whom he was forced to sacrifice.
Hamlet is making the point that Polonius is sacrificing his daughter to his political ambitions, just like Jeptha did.
