JUDGES
[V
- Out of Ephraim was there a root of them against Amalek;
- After thee, Benjamin, among thy people;
- Out of Machir came down governors,
- And out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.
- And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah;
- Even Issachar, and also Barak:
- He was sent on foot into the valley.
- For the divisions of Reuben
- There were great thoughts of heart.
- Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds.
- To hear the bleatings of the flocks?
- For the divisions of Reuben
- There were great searchings of heart,
- Gilead abode beyond Jordan:
- And why did Dan remain in ships?
- Asher continued on the sea shore.
- And abode in his breaches.
- Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death
- In the high places of the field.
- The kings came and fought,
- Then fought the kings of Canaan
- In Taanach by the waters of Megiddo;
- They took no gain of money.
- They fought from heaven;
