6. In the days of Shamgar son of Anath,in the days of Jael,caravans no longer went through the land,and travellers used the side roads.
7. The towns of Israel stood abandoned, Deborah;they stood empty until you came,came like a mother for Israel.
8. Then there was war in the landwhen the Israelites chose new gods.Of the 40,000 men in Israel,did anyone carry shield or spear?
9. My heart is with the commanders of Israel,with the people who gladly volunteered.Praise the Lord!
