And all Israel were gathered together against the city, as one man, with one mind, and one counsel:

So all the men of Israel gathered against the city, united as one man.

And every man of Israel is gathered unto the city, as one man, companions.

So all the men of Israel were banded together against the town, united like one man.

And all of Israel convened against the city, like one man, with one mind and one counsel.

So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city,.... Of Gibeah, even 360,000 men:
knit together as one man; went heart and hand together, united in their sentiments and resolutions, determining to have justice done, or lose their lives in this cause: according to the Jews (e), this was on the twenty third of Shebet, which answers to part of January and part of February, on which day a fast was kept on this account.
(e) Schulchan Aruch, par. 1. c. 580. sect. 2.

Thus the men of Israel assembled together against Gibeah, united as one man. חברים, lit. as comrades, simply serves to strengthen the expression "as one man." With this remark, which indicates briefly the carrying out of the resolution that was adopted, the account of the meeting of the congregation is brought to a close; but the actual progress of the affair is really anticipated, inasmuch as what is related in Judges 20:12-21 preceded the expedition in order of time.
