And why did Dan remain1 on ships?
bAsher continued at the seashore,
And stayed by his inlets.
Naphtali also, on the heights of the battlefield.
Then the kings of Canaan fought
In aTaanach, by the waters of Megiddo;
They took no spoils of silver.
That ancient torrent, the torrent of Kishon.
O my soul, march on in strength!
‘Curse its inhabitants bitterly,
Because they did not come to the help of the Lord,
To the help of the Lord against the mighty.’
The wife of Heber the Kenite;
aBlessed is she among women in tents.
Her right hand to the workmen’s hammer;
She pounded Sisera, she pierced his head,
She split and struck through his temple.
At her feet he sank, he fell;
Where he sank, there he fell adead.
And cried out through the lattice,
‘Why is his chariot so long in coming?
Why tarries the clatter of his chariots?’
To every man a girl or two;
For Sisera, plunder of dyed garments,
Plunder of garments embroidered and dyed,
Two pieces of dyed embroidery for the neck of the looter?’
But let those who love Him be blike the csun
When it comes out in full dstrength.” So the land had rest for forty years.

The battlefield was near Taanach (now Ta'annuk), on a tell or mound in the level plain of Megiddo (now Leijun), on its southwestern extremity, by the left bank of the Kishon.
they took no gain of money—They obtained no plunder.
