God chose new leaders,[a]
    then war was at the gates;
a small shield or a spear was not seen
    among forty thousand in Israel.

    those offering themselves willingly among the people;
        bless Yahweh!
10 The riders of white female donkeys,
    those sitting on saddle blankets,
        and those going on the way, talk about it!
