Context of Joshua 22:13

11Then the Israelites heard it said, “Look, the Reubenites, Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh have built an altar on the frontier of the land of Canaan at the region of the Jordan, on the Israelite side.” 12When the Israelites heard this, the entire Israelite community assembled at Shiloh to go to war against them.
