Judges 5:7-9

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁷The villages were unoccupied and rulers ceased in Israel until ^[a]you arose—you, Deborah, arose—a mother in Israel.

⁸[Formerly] they chose new gods; then war was in the gates. Was there a shield or spear seen among 40,000 in Israel?

⁹My heart goes out to the commanders of Israel who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless the Lord!

Judges 5:7 F. F. Bruce in The New Bible Dictionary calls attention to the fact that the repeated Hebrew verb here “may be understood not as the normal first person singular (‘I arose’) but as an archaic second person singular (‘thou didst arise’).”
