In the days of bJael,
cThe highways were deserted,
And the travelers walked along the byways.
Then there was war in the gates;
Not a shield or spear was seen among forty thousand in Israel.
Who offered themselves willingly with the people.
Bless the Lord!

Judges 5:7
Render the word "villages" (here and in Judges 5:11) judgment, rule, or judges, rulers. The sense is "The princes (or magistrates) ceased in Israel," i. e. there was no one to do justice in the gate, or defend men from their oppressors.
