Judges 5:12-18

12“1Awake, awake, Deborah; Awake, awake, 2sing a song! Arise, Barak, and 3lead away your captives, son of Abinoam.13Then survivors came down to the nobles; The people of the Lord came down to me as warriors.14From Ephraim those whose root is 4in Amalek came down, Following you, Benjamin, with your peoples; From Machir commanders came down, And from Zebulun those who wield the staff of 5office.15And the 6princes of Issachar were with Deborah; As was Issachar, so was Barak; Into the valley they rushed 7at his 8heels; Among the divisions of Reuben There were great determinations of heart.16Why did you sit among 9the 10sheepfolds, To hear the piping for the flocks? Among the divisions of Reuben There were great searchings of heart.1711Gilead 12remained across the Jordan; And why did Dan stay on ships? Asher sat at the seashore, And 13remained by its landings.1814Zebulun was a people who risked their lives, And Naphtali too, on the high places of the field.
