Judges 5:6-8
GOD’S WORD Translation
6 In the days of Shamgar, son of Anath,
in the days of Jael,
roads were deserted.
Those who traveled took back roads.
7 Villages in Israel were deserted—
deserted until I, Deborah, took a stand—
took a stand as a mother of Israel.
8 When the people chose new gods,
war broke out inside the city gates.
Not a weapon was seen among 40,000 in Israel.

when war came to the city gates,(G)
but not a shield or spear(H) was seen
among forty thousand in Israel.
