Judges 5:13-21

13Then survivors came down to the nobles; The people of the Lord came down to me as warriors.14From Ephraim those whose root is 1in Amalek came down, Following you, Benjamin, with your peoples; From Machir commanders came down, And from Zebulun those who wield the staff of 2office.15And the 3princes of Issachar were with Deborah; As was Issachar, so was Barak; Into the valley they rushed 4at his 5heels; Among the divisions of Reuben There were great determinations of heart.16Why did you sit among 6the 7sheepfolds, To hear the piping for the flocks? Among the divisions of Reuben There were great searchings of heart.178Gilead 9remained across the Jordan; And why did Dan stay on ships? Asher sat at the seashore, And 10remained by its landings.1811Zebulun was a people who risked their lives, And Naphtali too, on the high places of the field.

19“12The kings came and fought; Then the kings of Canaan fought 13At Taanach near the waters of Megiddo; 14They took no plunder in silver.2015The stars fought from heaven, From their paths they fought against Sisera.21The torrent of Kishon swept them away, The ancient torrent, the torrent Kishon. 16My soul, march on with strength!
