Judges 5:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Judges 5:8

6 “In the days of ^aShamgar, son of Anath,
In the days of ^bJael,
^cThe highways were deserted,
And the travelers walked along the byways.

7 Village life ceased, it ceased in Israel,
Until I, Deborah, arose,
Arose a mother in Israel.

8 They chose ^anew gods;
Then there was war in the gates;
Not a shield or spear was seen among forty thousand in Israel.

9 My heart is with the rulers of Israel
Who offered themselves willingly with the people.
Bless the Lord!

10 “Speak, you who ride on white ^adonkeys,
Who sit in judges’ attire,
And who walk along the road.
