Judges 5:12

Judges 5:12

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

11 Far from the noise of the archers, among the watering places,
There they shall recount the righteous acts of the Lord,
The righteous acts for His villagers in Israel;
Then the people of the Lord shall go down to the gates.

12 “Awake,^a awake, Deborah!
Awake, awake, sing a song!
Arise, Barak, and lead your captives away,
O son of Abinoam!

13 “Then the survivors came down, the people against the nobles;
The Lord came down for me against the mighty.

14 From Ephraim were those whose roots were in ^aAmalek.
After you, Benjamin, with your peoples,
From Machir rulers came down,
And from Zebulun those who bear the recruiter’s staff.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Judges 5:11

Judges 5:13 >>

Awake - Stir up thyself and all that is within thee, to admire and praise the Lord. This work needs and well deserves the utmost liveliness and vigour of soul. Lead captivity captive - How could this be done, when there was none of them left? Judges 4:16. None were left to make head against them. None is often put for few, and those few might be taken after the battle, and carried captive, and led in triumph.
