Judges 5:12-16 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

12. “Wake up, wake up, Deborah!Wake up, wake up, sing a song!Get up, Barak!Go capture your enemies, son of Abinoam!

13. “Then the men who were left came down to the important leaders.The Lord’s people came down to me with strong men.

14. They came from Ephraim in the mountains of Amalek.Benjamin was among the people who followed you.From the family group of Makir in West Manasseh, the commanders came down.And from Zebulun came those men who lead with an officer’s staff.

15. The princes of Issachar were with Deborah.The people of Issachar were loyal to Barak.They followed him into the valley.The Reubenites thought hardabout what they would do.

16. Why did you stay by the sheepfold?Was it to hear the music played for your sheep?The Reubenites thought hardabout what they would do.
