So the five kings of the Amorites the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon gathered their armies together and advanced with all of their armies toward Gideon, camped there, and laid siege to it.

After all these kings had gathered together, they went out and camped together at the waters of Merom to fight Israel.

After this, the entire assembly of the Israelis gathered together at Shiloh and set up the Tent of Meeting there, where the land lay conquered before them.

When the Israelis heard that announcement, the entire community of the Israelis gathered together at Shiloh in preparation for war.
