13 “The remnant of the nobles came down;

the people of the Lord came down to me against the mighty.

14 Some came from Ephraim,o whose roots were in Amalek;p

Benjaminq was with the people who followed you.

From Makirr captains came down,

from Zebulun those who bear a commander’sc staff.

15 The princes of Issachars were with Deborah;t

yes, Issachar was with Barak,u

sent under his command into the valley.

In the districts of Reuben

there was much searching of heart.

16 Why did you stay among the sheep pensd v

to hear the whistling for the flocks?w

In the districts of Reuben

there was much searching of heart.

17 Gileadx stayed beyond the Jordan.

And Dan, why did he linger by the ships?

Ashery remained on the coastz

and stayed in his coves.

18 The people of Zebuluna risked their very lives;

so did Naphtalib on the terraced fields.c
