Judges 20:18

And they arose and went up to Bethel, and they inquired of God (Elohim), and the sons of Israel said, "Who among us shall go up first to fight against the sons of Benjamin?" The Lord (Yahweh) answered, "Judah first." [This is one of several examples in the Bible where Judah is to go first.]
