14 From Ephraim those whose root is (A)in Amalek came down,
Following you, Benjamin, with your peoples;
From Machir commanders came down,
And from Zebulun those who wield the staff of [a]office.
15 And the [b]princes of Issachar were with Deborah;
As was Issachar, so was Barak;
Into the valley they rushed (B)at his [c]heels;
Among the divisions of Reuben
There were great determinations of heart.
16 Why did you sit among (C)the [d]sheepfolds,
To hear the piping for the flocks?
Among the divisions of Reuben
There were great searchings of heart.
