Berean Standard Bible

Judges 5:12-18

12‘Awake, awake, O Deborah! Awake, awake, sing a song! Arise, O Barak, and take hold of your captives, O son of Abinoam!’

13Then the survivors came down to the nobles;the people of the LORD came down to me against the mighty.14Some came from Ephraim, with their roots in Amalek;Benjamin came with your people after you.The commanders came down from Machir,the bearers of the marshal’s staff from Zebulun.

15The princes of Issachar were with Deborah,and Issachar was with Barak,rushing into the valley at his heels.In the clans of Reubenthere was great indecision.116Why did you sit among the sheepfoldsto hear the whistling for the flocks?In the clans of Reubenthere was great indecision.

17Gilead remained beyond the Jordan.Dan, why did you linger by the ships?Asher stayed at the coastand remained in his harbors.18Zebulun was a people who risked their lives;Naphtali, too, on the heights of the battlefield.
