New Testament

Judges 5:16-22 New Living Translation (NLT)

16. Why did you sit at home among the sheepfolds—to hear the shepherds whistle for their flocks?Yes, in the tribe of Reubenthere was great indecision.

17. Gilead remained east of the Jordan.And why did Dan stay home?Asher sat unmoved at the seashore,remaining in his harbors.

18. But Zebulun risked his life,as did Naphtali, on the heights of the battlefield.

19. “The kings of Canaan came and fought,at Taanach near Megiddo’s springs,but they carried off no silver treasures.

20. The stars fought from heaven.The stars in their orbits fought against Sisera.

21. The Kishon River swept them away—that ancient torrent, the Kishon.March on with courage, my soul!

22. Then the horses’ hooves hammered the ground,the galloping, galloping of Sisera’s mighty steeds.
