Judges 5:4 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Judges 5:4

2 “When¹ leaders ^alead in Israel,
^bWhen the people¹ willingly offer themselves,
Bless the Lord!

3 “Hear,^a O kings! Give ear, O princes!
I, even ^bI, will sing to the Lord;
I will sing praise to the Lord God of Israel.

4 “Lord, ^awhen You went out from Seir,
When You marched from ^bthe field of Edom,
The earth trembled and the heavens poured,
The clouds also poured water;

5 ^aThe mountains¹ gushed before the Lord,
^bThis Sinai, before the Lord God of Israel.

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.
