Judges 5:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? for the divisions of Reuben were great thoughts of heart.
17 [a]Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why doth Dan remain in ships? Asher sat on the seashore, and tarried in his [b]decayed places.
18 But the people of Zebulun and Naphtali have jeopardized their lives unto the death in the high places of the field.
