Judges 5:13-21

13Then the survivors came down to the nobles; the Lord’s people came down to me against the warriors.

14Those with their roots in Amalek came from Ephraim; Benjamin came with your people after you. The leaders came down from Machir, and those who carry a marshal’s staff came from Zebulun.

15The princes of Issachar were with Deborah; Issachar was with Barak; they were under his leadership in the valley. There was great searching of heart among the clans of Reuben.

16Why did you sit among the sheep pens listening to the playing of pipes for the flocks? There was great searching of heart among the clans of Reuben.

17Gilead remained beyond the Jordan. Dan, why did you linger at the ships? Asher remained at the seashore and stayed in his harbors.

18The people of Zebulun defied death, Naphtali also, on the heights of the battlefield.

19Kings came and fought. Then the kings of Canaan fought at Taanach by the Waters of Megiddo, but they did not plunder the silver.

20The stars fought from the heavens; the stars fought with Sisera from their paths.

21The river Kishon swept them away, the ancient river, the river Kishon. March on, my soul, in strength!
