That they gathered themselves together to fight with
Joshua,
and with Israel
Not at this time, but they met together to consult what was
proper to be done in order to secure themselves, and their
people, and put a stop to the successes of the arms of Israel;
and for this purpose entered into alliances with each other to
assist one another, or at a convenient time and place to join
their forces together, and attack Israel, as afterwards they did,
( Joshua
11:1-5 ) ; and this they did
with one accord;
were unanimous in their councils and resolutions; they all
confederated together, and agreed as one man to make a common
cause of it, and oppose Israel with their united forces.
