Judges 5:16-18
Wycliffe Bible
16 Why dwellest thou betwixt twain ends (Why stayest thou by the stalls), (so) that thou (mayest) hear the hissings of (the) flocks? (Yea,) While Reuben was parted against himself, the strife of great hearted men was found.
17 Gilead rested beyond (the) Jordan, and Dan gave attention to ships. Asher dwelled in the brink of the sea, and dwelled in havens (Asher stayed by the seashore, and lived in safe coves).
18 And Zebulun and Naphtali offered their lives to the death, in the country of Meromei, that is interpreted, high. (And Zebulun and Naphtali offered their lives unto the death, in the high places of the countryside.)

In the districts of Reuben
there was much searching of heart.
17 Gilead(C) stayed beyond the Jordan.
And Dan, why did he linger by the ships?
Asher(D) remained on the coast(E)
and stayed in his coves.
18 The people of Zebulun(F) risked their very lives;
so did Naphtali(G) on the terraced fields.(H)
