Judges 5:16-18

Expanded Bible

¹⁶ Why did you stay by the sheepfold?
    Was it to hear the ·music played [whistling] for your ·sheep [flocks]?
·The Reubenites [^LAmong the clans of Reuben they] ·thought hard
    about what they would do [greatly searched their hearts; or had great indecision].
¹⁷ ·The people of Gilead [^LGilead; ^Cthe grandson of Manasseh, though the term is used for the tribe of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh east of the Jordan] stayed east of the Jordan River.
    ·People of Dan [^LDan; 1:34], why did you stay by the ships [^CDan remained on the Mediterranean coast rather than help in the battle]?
The people of Asher stayed at the seashore,
    at their ·safe harbors [coves; landings].
¹⁸ But the people of Zebulun ·risked their lives [^Ldespised their lives even to death],
    as did the people of Naphtali on the ·battlefield [^Lheights of the field].
