Judges 5:2-9

2"That the leaders took the lead in Israel, that the people offered themselves willingly, bless the Lord!

3"Hear, O kings; give ear, O princes; to the Lord I will sing; I will make melody to the Lord, the God of Israel.

4"Lord, when you went out from Seir, when you marched from the region of Edom, the earth trembled and the heavens dropped, yes, the clouds dropped water.

5The mountains quaked before the Lord, even Sinai before the Lord, the God of Israel.

6"In the days of Shamgar, son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were abandoned, and travelers kept to the byways.

7The villagers ceased in Israel; they ceased to be until I arose; I, Deborah, arose as a mother in Israel.

8When new gods were chosen, then war was in the gates. Was shield or spear to be seen among forty thousand in Israel?

9My heart goes out to the commanders of Israel who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless the Lord.
