Judges 5:15-21

¹⁵The leaders of Issachar supported Deborah and Barak; they raced into the valley following Barak. But the tribe of Reuben was very undecided.

¹⁶Why did you stay at home in the sheepfolds, listening to shepherds whistling for their flocks? The tribe of Reuben really couldn't decide what to do.

¹⁷Gilead remained on the other side of Jordan. Dan stayed with his ships. Asher sat still on the seacoast, not moving from his ports.

¹⁸The people of Zebulun risked their lives; as did Naphtali on the high battlefields.

¹⁹Kings came and fought, the Canaanite kings fought at Taanach near the waters of Megiddo, but they didn't get any silver plunder.

²⁰The stars fought from heaven. The stars in their courses fought against Sisera.

²¹The Kishon River swept them away—the old river turned into a raging torrent! I bravely march on!
