Judges 5:9-18

⁹Mine heart loveth the princes of Israel; ye that offered you to peril by your own will, bless ye the Lord;

¹⁰speak ye, that ascend or go up on shining asses, and sit above in doom, and go in the way.

¹¹Where the chariots were hurled down altogether, and the host of the enemies was strangled, there the Lord’s rightwiseness be told out, and his mercy among the strong men of Israel; then the Lord’s people came down to the gates, and got the princehood.

¹²Rise, rise thou, Deborah, rise thou, and speak a song; rise thou, Barak, and thou, son of Abinoam, take thy prisoners.

¹³The remnants of the people be saved; the Lord fought against strong men of Ephraim.

¹⁴He did away them into Amalek, and after him from Benjamin into thy peoples, thou Amalek. Princes of Machir and of Zebulun went down, that led the host to fight.

¹⁵The dukes of Issachar were with Deborah, and pursued or followed the steps of Barak, that gave himself to peril, as into a ditch head-long, and into hell. While Reuben was parted against himself; the strife of great hearted men was found.

¹⁶Why dwellest thou betwixt twain ends, that thou hear the hissings of flocks? While Reuben was parted against himself, the strife of great hearted men was found.

¹⁷Gilead rested beyond Jordan, and Dan gave attention to ships. Asher dwelled in the brink of the sea, and dwelled in havens.

¹⁸And Zebulun and Naphtali offered their lives to the death, in the country of Meromei, that is interpreted, high.
