8 Then there was war in the landwhen the Israelites chose new gods.Of the forty thousand men in Israel,did anyone carry shield or spear?
9 My heart is with the commanders of Israel,with the people who gladly volunteered.Praise the Lord!
10 Tell of it, you that ride on white donkeys,sitting on saddles,and you that must walk wherever you go.
11 Listen! The noisy crowds around the wellsare telling of the Lord's victories,the victories of Israel's people!Then the Lord's people marched down from their cities.
12 Lead on, Deborah, lead on!Lead on! Sing a song! Lead on!Forward, Barak son of Abinoam,lead your captives away!
13 Then the faithful ones came down to their leaders;the Lord's people came to him ready to fight.
14 They came from Ephraim into the valley,behind the tribe of Benjamin and its people.The commanders came down from Machir,the officers down from Zebulun.
