Verse 2 is found in chapter 1 of Judges. The book begins after the death of Joshua and raises a decisive question: who will go up first against the Canaanites? Judah receives the divine answer and joins with Simeon. The scene shows that the conquest continues to be understood as a task dependent on the Lord’s direction, while also introducing the tribal fragmentation that will characterize much of the period of the judges.
