Clarke's Joshua 22:12 Bible Commentary
To go up to war against them - Supposing that they had built this altar in opposition to that which Moses, by the command of God, had erected, and were consequently become rebels against God and the Israelitish constitution, and should be treated as such. Their great concern for the glory of God led them to take this step, which at first view might appear precipitate; but, that they might do nothing rashly, they first sent Phinehas and ten princes, one out of each tribe, to require an explanation of their motives in erecting this altar.
Barnes's Joshua 22:12 Bible Commentary
Gathered themselves together - The various tribes had already dispersed to their homes, and were now summoned together again.
Wesley's Joshua 22:12 Bible Commentary
22:12 The children of Israel - Not in their own persons, not by their elders, who used to transact all affairs of this kind in the name of all the people. Against them - As apostates from God, according to God's command in that case, 13:13 . &c.
