Judges 5:15-18

5:15 Issachar’s leaders were with Deborah,

the men of Issachar supported Barak;

into the valley they were sent under Barak’s command.

Among the clans of Reuben there was intense heart searching.

5:16 Why do you remain among the sheepfolds,

listening to the shepherds playing their pipes for their flocks?

As for the clans of Reuben – there was intense searching of heart.

5:17 Gilead stayed put beyond the Jordan River.

As for Dan – why did he seek temporary employment in the shipyards?

Asher remained on the seacoast,

he stayed by his harbors.

5:18 The men of Zebulun were not concerned about their lives;

Naphtali charged on to the battlefields.
