Judges 20:9

King James Version (KJV)

But now this shall be the thing which we will do to Gibeah; we will go up by lot against it;

Albert Barnes
Notes on the Whole Bible

By lot - To determine who should go up first Judges 20:18. The shape of the ground probably made it impossible for the whole force to operate at once; and the question of spoil would have something to do with the arrangement. (Compare 1 Samuel 30:22-25.)
