And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came not up with the congregation unto the LORD? For they had made a great oath concerning him that came not up to the LORD to Mizpeh, saying, He shall surely be put to death.
The children of Israel asked, "Which person from all the tribes didn't join the group going to meet God at Mizpeh?" They had taken a big promise that anyone who didn't go would be killed.
