AriseH6965, BarakH1301, and 19leadH7617 awayH7617 your captivesH7628, sonH1121 of AbinoamH42.13ThenH227 survivorsH8300 cameH3381 downH3381 to the noblesH117; The peopleH5971 of the LordH3068 cameH3381 downH3381 to me as warriorsH1368.14From EphraimH669 those whose rootH8328 is 20in AmalekH6002 came down, FollowingH310 you, BenjaminH1144, with your peoplesH5971; From MachirH4353 commandersH2710 cameH3381 downH3381, And from ZebulunH2074 those who wieldH4900 the staffH7626 of 21officeH5613.15And the 22princesH8269 of IssacharH3485 were with DeborahH1683; As was IssacharH3485, soH3651 was BarakH1301; Into the valleyH6010 they rushedH7971 23at his 24heelsH7272; Among the divisionsH6390 of ReubenH7205 There were greatH1419 determinationsH2706 of heartH3820.16WhyH4100 did you sitH3427 amongH996 25the 26sheepfoldsH4942, To hearH8085 the pipingH8292 for the flocksH5739?
