Judges 5:6-8

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁶ In the days of Shamgar^(A) son of Anath,
in the days of Jael,^(B)
the main ways were deserted
because travelers kept to the side roads.
⁷ Villages were deserted,^[a]
they were deserted in Israel,
until I, Deborah,^[b] arose,
a mother in Israel.
⁸ Israel chose new gods,
then war was in the gates.
Not a shield or spear was seen
among 40,000 in Israel.
