Judges 5:13 - Forerunner Commentary

Judges 5:13

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.

15 And¹ the princes of Issachar were with Deborah;
As Issachar, so was Barak
Sent into the valley¹ under his command;
Among the divisions of Reuben
There were great resolves of heart.

16 Why did you sit among the sheepfolds,
To hear the pipings for the flocks?
The divisions of Reuben have great searchings of heart.

17 ^aGilead stayed beyond the Jordan,
And why did Dan remain¹ on ships?
^bAsher continued at the seashore,
And stayed by his inlets.

18 ^aZebulun is a people who jeopardized their lives to the point of death,
Naphtali also, on the heights of the battlefield.

19 “The kings came and fought,
Then the kings of Canaan fought
In ^aTaanach, by the waters of Megiddo;
They took no spoils of silver.

20 They fought from the heavens;
The stars from their courses fought against Sisera.
