Judges 5:6 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Judges 5:6

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.

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!

<< Judges 5:5

Judges 5:7 >>

Judges 5:6-8

The song proceeds in these verses to describe the sad condition of the country, the oppression of the people, and the origin of all the national distress in the people's apostasy from God. Idolatry was the cause of foreign invasion and internal inability to resist it.
