8. [Formerly] they chose new gods; then war was in the gates. Was there a shield or spear seen among 40,000 in Israel?
9. My heart goes out to the commanders of Israel who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless the Lord!
10. Tell of it–you who ride on white donkeys, you who sit on rich carpets, and you who walk by the way.
11. Far from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the Lord, even the righteous acts toward His villagers in Israel. Then the people of the Lord went down to the gates.
12. Awake, awake, Deborah! Awake, awake, utter a song! Arise, Barak, and lead away your captives, you son of Abinoam.
13. Then down marched the remnant of the nobles, the people of the Lord marched down for Me against the mighty.
