He chooses the best part for himself.
He takes the king’s share.
The leaders of the people come to him.
He does what the Lord says is good.
He does what is right
for the people of Israel.”
In fact, the Lord has already given you this land east of the Jordan River. Your wives and children can stay in this land with your animals. But your fighting men must cross the Jordan River with your brothers. You must be ready for war and help them {take their land}.
At the watering holes for the animals,
we hear the music of cymbals.
People sing about
the victories of the Lord,
the victories of his soldiers in Israel
when the Lord’s people fought
at the city gates {and won}!
