But on the contrary if it happened that the Israelites got the upper hand in the first battles, they saw that the power and audacity of the nations would every day diminish, and being made feeble and fainter they should the easier be overcome.1 They did not therefore without cause ask coū sell of God in so great a matter: which also to do the commandment of the law did urge them, which is written in the book of Numbers. Neither must it be now thought, that they so required the oracle, as though they did not the same when Joshua ⟨p. 7⟩was living, for they required also answers of God very often when he was a live, but after his death it is said that they enquired for this thing chiefly & principally, namely which tribe should go up to battle before all the other in all their causes. And this is the signification of the hebrew word Lanu that is, for us. And this word to go up is mentioned, because they saw that they should first vanquish the hilly places.
