Contextual Overview
10 When the descendants of Re'uven, the descendants of Gad and the half-tribe arrived in the area of the land of Kena‘an near the Yarden, they built an altar there by the Yarden, a large, impressive altar. 11 The people of Isra'el heard of it and said, "Look! The descendants of Re'uven, the descendants of Gad and the half-tribe of M'nasheh have built an altar by the frontier of the land of Kena‘an, in the area by the Yarden, on the side that belongs to the people of Isra'el." 12 When the people of Isra'el heard of it, the entire community of Isra'el gathered together in Shiloh to wage war against them. 13 The people of Isra'el sent Pinchas the son of El‘azar the cohen into the land of Gil‘ad to the descendants of Re'uven, the descendants of Gad and the half-tribe of M'nasheh. 14 With him were ten leaders, one leader of an ancestral clan for each of the tribes of Isra'el; each one was a head of his ancestral clan among the thousands of Isra'el. 15 They came to the descendants of Re'uven, the descendants of Gad and the half-tribe of M'nasheh in the land of Gil‘ad and spoke with them; they said, 16 "Here is what the whole community of Adonai is saying: ‘What is this treachery that you have committed against the God of Isra'el, turning away today from following Adonai , in that you have built yourselves an altar, thus rebelling today against Adonai ? 17 Is the guilt we incurred at P‘or not enough for us? We haven't cleansed ourselves from it to this day, even though a plague came on the community of Adonai . 18 Is this why you have to turn away today from following Adonai ? If you rebel against Adonai today, he will be angry tomorrow with the whole community of Isra'el. 19 If the land you have taken possession of is unclean, then cross back over into the land which belongs to Adonai , where the tabernacle of Adonai is located, and take a possession among us. But don't rebel against Adonai , and don't rebel against us, by building yourselves an altar other than the altar of Adonai our God.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And when the children of Israel heard [of it],.... Of the building the altar in the above place, namely, the nine tribes and a half settled in the land of Canaan:
the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh; where the tabernacle and altar of the Lord were, whose cause they undertook to avenge, being injured as they imagined by the altar the other tribes had built, and where they could consult the Lord by Urim and Thummim, if needful; hither they repaired from the several places around, where their tribes were settled; not the whole body of the people, but their heads and representatives:
to go up to war against them; to consult about it, and to prepare for it, which they were obliged to do by the law of God, as in the case of a city, so of a tribe drawn aside to idolatry; and which they imagined was the case of these tribes, or at least what they had done had a tendency to apostasy from the true worship of God, which they were zealous to defend at the hazard of their lives, and though it should issue in an extirpation of one or more of their tribes; see
Deuteronomy 13:12.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Gathered themselves together - The various tribes had already dispersed to their homes, and were now summoned together again.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Joshua 22:12. To go up to war against them. — Supposing that they had built this altar in opposition to that which Moses, by the command of God, had erected, and were consequently become rebels against God and the Israelitish constitution, and should be treated as such. Their great concern for the glory of God led them to take this step, which at first view might appear precipitate; but, that they might do nothing rashly, they first sent Phinehas and ten princes, one out of each tribe, to require an explanation of their motives in erecting this altar.
