Judges 5:14-16
English Standard Version Anglicised
14 From (A)Ephraim their root (B)they marched down into the valley,[a]
following you, Benjamin, with your kinsmen;
from (C)Machir marched down the commanders,
and from Zebulun those who bear the lieutenant's[b] staff;
15 the princes of Issachar came with Deborah,
and Issachar faithful to (D)Barak;
into the valley they rushed at his heels.
Among the clans of Reuben
there were great searchings of heart.
16 Why did you sit still (E)among the sheepfolds,
to hear the whistling for the flocks?
Among the clans of Reuben
there were great searchings of heart.
