Judges 5:16-23

16Why abodestH3427 thou amongH996 the sheepfoldsH4942, to hearH8085 the bleatingsH8292 of the flocksH5739? For the divisionsH6390 of ReubenH7205 there were greatH1419 searchingsH2714 of heartH3820.1

17GileadH1568 abodeH7931 beyondH5676 JordanH3383: and why did DanH1835 remainH1481 in shipsH591? AsherH836 continuedH3427 on the seaH3220 shoreH2348, and abodeH7931 in his breachesH4664.23

18ZebulunH2074 and NaphtaliH5321 were a peopleH5971 that jeopardedH2778 their livesH5315 unto the deathH4191 in the high placesH4791 of the fieldH7704.4

19The kingsH4428 cameH935 and foughtH3898, then foughtH3898 the kingsH4428 of CanaanH3667 in TaanachH8590 by the watersH4325 of MegiddoH4023; they tookH3947 no gainH1215 of moneyH3701.

20They foughtH3898 from heavenH8064; the starsH3556 in their coursesH4546 foughtH3898 against SiseraH5516.5

21The riverH5158 of KishonH7028 swept them awayH1640, that ancientH6917 riverH5158, the riverH5158 KishonH7028. O my soulH5315, thou hast trodden downH1869 strengthH5797.

22Then were the horsehoofsH5483H6119 brokenH1986 by the means of the pransingsH1726, the pransingsH1726 of their mighty onesH47.6

23CurseH779 ye MerozH4789, saidH559 the angelH4397 of YhwhH3068, curseH779 ye bitterlyH779 the inhabitantsH3427 thereof; because they cameH935 not to the helpH5833 of YhwhH3068, to the helpH5833 of YhwhH3068 against the mightyH1368.
