As Issachar, so was Barak
Sent into the valley1 under his command;
Among the divisions of Reuben
There were great resolves of heart.
To hear the pipings for the flocks?
The divisions of Reuben have great searchings of heart.
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.
