VERSE 6 
 - drew water.
  Grotius says, that the pouring out of water means the shedding
  of tears; and the Targum reads, "And they poured out their
  hearts in penitence, as waters, before the Lord."  Others
  suppose that it was done emblematically, to represent the
  contrition of their hearts, and their desire to wash away
  their past offences.  But some learned men conceive that it
  was poured out as a libation, in token of joy, after they had
  fasted and confessed their sin, as they were wont to do in the
  feast of tabernacles.  (See note on Nu. 35 29:35.)

  When he was at Bethel, the tribe of Ephraim and all the
  northern parts of the country could attend him; when at
  Gilgal, the tribe of Benjamin and those beyond Jordan could
  have easy access to him; and when at Mizpeh, he was within the
  reach of Judah, Simeon, and Gad:  but at Ramah was the place
  of his ordinary abode; and there he held his court, for there
  he judged Israel:  and as it is probable that Shiloh was
  destroyed, it is said (ver. 17) that there, i.e., at Ramah,
  "he built an altar to the Lord."
