Yiftach's plan – These commentators read the verse "וְהָיָה לַי"י וְהַעֲלִיתִיהוּ עֹלָה" as two options, depending who or what will come out of Yiftach's house. If it will be an animal, his fate will be to be sacrificed, and if it will be a human "וְהָיָה לַי"י".
"וְהָיָה לַי"י" – Radak and Ralbag explain that Yiftach's daughter was to seclusive from the rest of the world. Ralbag explicates that she couldn't marry any man, in contrast to Shemuel who was to be seclusive but could get married because he is special to Hashem's service in other ways.
Purpose of Yiftach's vow
"וַתֵּבְךְּ עַל בְּתוּלֶיהָ" – This approach understands that Yiftach's daughter cried about her בתולים because she wasn't going to get married.
