11At the sound of those who divide flocks among the watering places, There they shall recount the righteous acts of the Lord, The righteous acts toward His villagers in Israel. Then the people of the Lord went down to the gates. 12“Awake, awake, Deborah; Awake, awake, sing a song! Arise, Barak, and lead away your captives, you son of Abinoam. Then down marched the survivors to the nobles; The people of the Lord marched down for Me against the mighty. 14From Ephraim those whose root is in Amalek came down, After you, Benjamin, with your relatives; From Machir came down commanders and rulers, And from Zebulun those who handle the scepter of the [office of] scribe. 15And the heads of Issachar came with Deborah; As Issachar, so was Barak; Into the valley they rushed at his heels; Among the divisions of Reuben There were great searchings of heart.
