The people, the rulers of Gilead, said to each other, "What man is he who will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? He shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."

And the people and princes of Gilead said one to another, What man is he that will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? he shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.

Commentary

And the people and princes of Gilead said one to another,.... Being thus assembled and encamped: what man is he that will begin to fight with the chil dren of Ammon? for though the forces were assembled together for battle, yet it seems they had no general to command them, and lead them on to it: he shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead, this they ordered to be proclaimed, to encourage some person to take the command of them, and go before them to battle, promising him that he should be judge or governor over all the tribes on that side Jordan.
