With any of the tribes - "Spake I a word to any of the Judges" is the reading in the parallel place, I Chronicles 17:6, and this is probably the true reading. Indeed, there is but one letter of difference between them, and letters which might be easily mistaken for each other: shibtey , tribes, is almost the same in appearance with ht shophetey , judges; the beth and the pe being the same letter, the apex under the upper stroke of the pe excepted. If this were but a little effaced in a MS., it would be mistaken for the other, and then we should have tribes instead of judges. This reading seems confirmed by II Samuel 7:11.
