14Out of EphraimH669 was there a rootH8328 of them against AmalekH6002; afterH310 thee, BenjaminH1144, among thy peopleH5971; out of MachirH4353 came downH3381 governorsH2710, and out of ZebulunH2074 they that handleH4900 the penH7626 of the writerH5608.1

15And the princesH8269 of IssacharH3485 were with DeborahH1683; even IssacharH3485, and also BarakH1301: he was sentH7971 on footH7272 into the valleyH6010. For the divisionsH6390 of ReubenH7205 there were greatH1419 thoughtsH2711 of heartH3820.2 3 4
