All the people arose as one man, saying, We will not any of us go to his tent, neither will we any of us turn to his house.
"We will go up against it by lot"  (Judges 20:9).  This mention of "by lot" evidently applied to the whole mobilization for war.  The army was assembled by taking "by lot" one man of every ten, and of those chosen, one of ten out of them were evidently allotted to handle the duties of the quartermaster.
