Judges 5:16-18
New Living Translation
16 Why did you sit at home among the sheepfolds—
to hear the shepherds whistle for their flocks?
Yes, in the tribe of Reuben
there was great indecision.
17 Gilead remained east of the Jordan.
And why did Dan stay home?
Asher sat unmoved at the seashore,
remaining in his harbors.
18 But Zebulun risked his life,
as did Naphtali, on the heights of the battlefield.

In the districts of Reuben
there was much searching of heart.
17 Gilead(C) stayed beyond the Jordan.
And Dan, why did he linger by the ships?
Asher(D) remained on the coast(E)
and stayed in his coves.

so did Naphtali(G) on the terraced fields.(H)
