Judges 5:15-17
The Voice
15 The chiefs of Issachar came with Deborah;
Issachar was faithful to Barak,
And they rushed into the valley, close at his heels.
And the clans of Reuben wondered in their heart,
16 “Why did you remain idle and aloof in the sheepfolds?
To hear whistling for the flocks?”
And the clans of Reuben wondered in their heart,
17 “Why did those of Gilead remain beyond the Jordan?
Why did the people of Dan stay with their ships?
“Why did the people of Asher stay on the coast,
settling down where they landed?”
Judges 5:15-17

15 The princes of Issachar(A) were with Deborah;(B)
yes, Issachar was with Barak,(C)
sent under his command into the valley.
In the districts of Reuben
there was much searching of heart.
16 Why did you stay among the sheep pens[a](D)
to hear the whistling for the flocks?(E)
In the districts of Reuben
there was much searching of heart.
17 Gilead(F) stayed beyond the Jordan.
And Dan, why did he linger by the ships?
Asher(G) remained on the coast(H)
and stayed in his coves.
