Judges 5:13-21

13Then 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.

16Why [Reuben] did you linger among the sheepfolds, To hear the piping for the flocks? Among the divisions of Reuben There were great searchings of heart.

17Gilead remained beyond the Jordan; And why did Dan live as an alien on ships? Asher sat [still] on the seacoast, And remained by its landings. [These did not come to battle for God’s people.]

18But Zebulun was a people who risked their lives to the [point of] death; Naphtali also, on the heights of the field.

19“The kings came and fought; Then the kings of Canaan fought At Taanach by the waters of Megiddo. Spoils of silver they did not obtain.

20From the heavens the stars fought, From their courses they fought against Sisera.

21The torrent Kishon swept the enemy away, The ancient torrent, the torrent Kishon. O my soul, march on with strength.
