This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jdg_20:1 Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was gathered together as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, unto the LORD in Mizpeh.
Ver. 1. Unto the Lord in Mizpeh.] Where was, they say, an oratory or synagogue; { 1Ma 3:46} and that here was the first beginning of synagogues, which were as chapels of ease to the tabernacle or temple. That meet at Mizpeh, {1Sa_7:5} is very famous. Hither they resorted, as being in the heart of the country, when any great business concerning the public was to be transacted. See 1Sa_10:17 Jer_40:7-8.
