And the children of Israel rose up in the morning and encamped against Gibeah.'

The forty units of the tribal confederacy, with Judah to the fore, marched to Gibeah and encamped near the city. (Notice that it is ‘the children of Israel' who go forward, not just the men of Judah. Thus Judah are just the leading units into battle).
