King James Version (KJV)
“In our prayers we talk to God, in our Bible study God talks to us, and we had better let God do most of the talking.”

And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation and heads of the thousands of Israel which [were] with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spake, it pleased them.
Joshua 22:30 — KJV
It pleased them. Literally, “it was good in their eyes.” They had gone on this mission for the glory of God and not for their own glory. Now that the guilt had been cleared, even though they themselves had been proved wrong, they were pleased. God is the true bond of brotherhood. If we are true brethren, our brother’s shame and pain will be ours also, and the re-established innocence of those suspected of guilt will work in us hearty and sincere gratitude. Had the men from the tribes west of Jordan been actuated by selfish motives, they would have been too proud to rejoice over the exposure of their false accusation, and would have endeavored to find some other ground for complaint. Sometimes Christian brethren are so proud of their own opinions that they desire victory over a supposed antagonist rather than the vindication of right. Those who live near to the Lord are ready and willing to admit their error and are more anxious for truth than to convince others that they are right.
