Judges 5:13–21

13 Then the survivorsh came down to the nobles;i

the Lord’s people came down to meD against the warriors.

14 Those with their roots in AmalekE came from Ephraim;

Benjamin came with your people after you.

The leaders came down from Machir,j

and those who carry a marshal’s staff came from Zebulun.

15 The princes of Issachar were with Deborah;

Issachar was with Barak;

they were under his leadershipF,k in the valley.

There was great searchingG of heart

among the clans of Reuben.

16 Why did you sit among the sheep pensH

listening to the playing of pipes for the flocks?

There was great searching of heart

among the clans of Reuben.

17 Gileadl remained beyond the Jordan.

Dan, why did you linger at the ships?

Asher remained at the seashore

and stayed in his harbors.

18 The people of Zebulun defied death,

Naphtali also, on the heights of the battlefield.

19 Kings came and fought.

Then the kings of Canaan fought

at Taanach by the Waters of Megiddo,

but they did not plunder the silver.

20 The stars fought from the heavens;

the stars fought with Sisera from their paths.

21 The river Kishon swept them away,m

the ancient river, the river Kishon.

March on, my soul, in strength!
