Judges 5:6-24

6In the daysH3117 of ShamgarH8044 sonH1121 of AnathH6067, in the daysH3117 of JaelH3278, the highwaysH734 were desertedH2308 and the travelersH1980 H5410 tookH1980 the bywaysH734 H6128.7Life in the villagesH6520 ceasedH2308; it endedH2308 in IsraelH3478, untilH5704 I, DeborahH1683 H6965, aroseH6965, a motherH517 in IsraelH3478.8When they choseH977 newH2319 godsH430, thenH227 warH3901 came to their gatesH8179. NotH518 a shieldH4043 or spearH7420 was foundH7200 among fortyH705 thousandH505 in IsraelH3478.9My heartH3820 is with the princesH2710 of IsraelH3478, with the volunteersH5068 among the peopleH5971. BlessH1288 the LORDH3068!

10You who rideH7392 whiteH6715 donkeysH860,who sitH3427 onH5921 saddle blanketsH4055,and you who travelH1980 H5921 the roadH1870,ponderH7878 11the voicesH6963 of the singersH2686 1atH996 the watering placesH4857.ThereH8033 they shall recountH8567 the righteous actsH6666 of the LORDH3068,the righteous deedsH6666 of His villagersH6520 2 in IsraelH3478.

ThenH227 the peopleH5971 of the LORDH3068went downH3381 to the gatesH8179:12‘AwakeH5782, awakeH5782, O DeborahH1683!AwakeH5782, awakeH5782, singH1696 a songH7892!AriseH6965, O BarakH1301,and take hold ofH7628 your captivesH7617, O sonH1121 of AbinoamH42!’

13ThenH227 the survivorsH8300 came downH3381 to the noblesH117;the peopleH5971 of the LORDH3068 came downH3381 to me against the mightyH1368.14Some came fromH4480 EphraimH669, with their rootsH8328 in AmalekH6002;BenjaminH1144 came with your peopleH5971 after youH310.The commandersH2710 came downH3381 fromH4480 MachirH4353,the bearersH4900 of the marshal’sH5608 staffH7626 from ZebulunH2074.

15The princesH8269 of IssacharH3485 were withH5973 DeborahH1683,and IssacharH3485 H3651 was with BarakH1301,rushingH7971 into the valleyH6010 at his heelsH7272.In the clansH6391 of ReubenH7205there was greatH1419 indecisionH2711 H3820.316WhyH4100 did you sitH3427 amongH996 the sheepfoldsH4942to hearH8085 the whistlingH8292 for the flocksH5739?In the clansH6391 of ReubenH7205there was greatH1419 indecisionH2714 H3820.

17GileadH1568 remainedH7931 beyondH5676 the JordanH3383.DanH1835, whyH4100 did you lingerH1481 by the shipsH591?AsherH836 stayedH3427 at the coastH2348 H3220and remainedH7931 inH5921 his harborsH4664.18ZebulunH2074 was a peopleH5971 who riskedH2778 H4191 their livesH5315;Naphtali, tooH5321, onH5921 the heightsH4791 of the battlefieldH7704.19KingsH4428 cameH935 and foughtH3898;thenH227 the kingsH4428 of CanaanH3667 foughtH3898 at TaanachH8590byH5921 the watersH4325 of MegiddoH4023,but they tookH3947 noH3808 plunderH1215 of silverH3701.

20FromH4480 the heavensH8064 the starsH3556 foughtH3898;from their coursesH4546 they foughtH3898 againstH5973 SiseraH5516.21The RiverH5158 KishonH7028 swept them awayH1640,the ancientH6917 riverH5158, the RiverH5158 KishonH7028.

March onH1869, O my soulH5315, in strengthH5797!

22ThenH227 the hoovesH6119 of horsesH5483 thunderedH1986—the mad gallopingH1726 of his stallionsH47.23‘CurseH779 MerozH4789,’ saysH559 the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068.‘Bitterly curseH779 her inhabitantsH3427;forH3588 they did notH3808 comeH935 to helpH5833 the LORDH3068,to helpH5833 the LORDH3068 against the mightyH1368.’

24Most blessedH1288 among womenH802 is JaelH3278,the wifeH802 of HeberH2268 the KeniteH7017,most blessedH1288 of tent-dwellingH168 womenH802.
