JUDGES—NOTE ON Judges 11:8 that you may go with us and fight. Compare the language later used by the Israelites to ask Samuel for a king: “that our king may... go out before us and fight” (1 Samuel 8:20). In both cases, even though God granted it, the request was inappropriate. God, not any judge or any king, was to be Israel’s commander in war.
