Judges 5:17-23

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!

²²Then the horses' hooves flailed loudly, his stallions stampeded.

²³‘Curse Meroz,’ says the angel of the Lord. ‘Totally curse those who live there, for they refused to come help the Lord, to help the Lord against the powerful enemies.’
