From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Jehovah-tsidkenu
      Jehovah our rightousness, rendered in the Authorized Version,
      "The LORD our righteousness," a title given to the Messiah (Jer.
      23:6, marg.), and also to Jerusalem (33:16, marg.).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Jephthah's vow
      (Judg. 11:30, 31). After a crushing defeat of the Ammonites,
      Jephthah returned to his own house, and the first to welcome him
      was his own daughter. This was a terrible blow to the victor,
      and in his despair he cried out, "Alas, my daughter! thou hast
      brought me very low...I have opened my mouth unto the Lord, and
      cannot go back." With singular nobleness of spirit she answered,
      "Do to me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy
      mouth." She only asked two months to bewail her maidenhood with
      her companions upon the mountains. She utters no reproach
      against her father's rashness, and is content to yield her life
      since her father has returned a conqueror. But was it so? Did
      Jephthah offer up his daughter as a "burnt-offering"? This
      question has been much debated, and there are many able
      commentators who argue that such a sacrifice was actually
      offered. We are constrained, however, by a consideration of
      Jephthah's known piety as a true worshipper of Jehovah, his
      evident acquaintance with the law of Moses, to which such
      sacrifices were abhorrent (Lev. 18:21; 20:2-5; Deut. 12:31), and
      the place he holds in the roll of the heroes of the faith in the
      Epistle to the Hebrews (11:32), to conclude that she was only
      doomed to a life of perpetual celibacy.
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Jehovah-tsidkenu, the Lord our righteousness
