Joshua 22. The priest and those who had travelled with him were probably pretty sure that the Eastern tribes had committed heresy by building their alter, over the weeks it would have taken to travel to their meeting no doubt there were many times where these judges had convinced themselves that there was probably no excuse and the Eastern tribes would need to be punished. However, when the tribes explained themselves to the representatives of Israel, the priest and others were convinced that the later was built for good purposes and not bad ones and were satisfied that no crime had been committed.
When was the last time you had to meet up with someone to deal with an issue that you thought needed to be dealt with? What was your attitude when you got there? Had you already decided their guilt or did you simply allow God to speak to you there and then? It is so easy to begin in the Spirit and end in the flesh.
