Villagers disappeared;
    they disappeared in Israel,
        until you,[a] Deborah, arose,
        until you arose as a mother in Israel.
When they chose new gods,
    then war came to the city gates.[b]
Yet there wasn’t a shield or spear to be seen
    among forty thousand in Israel!
My heart is with Israel’s commanders,
    who willingly offered themselves among the people—bless the Lord!
