Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying, Exo 15:1Isa 12:1-6Psa 18:1Rev 15:3-4Rev 19:1-31Sa 2:12Ch 20:212Ch 20:27
“Because the leaders took the lead in Israel, Jdg 5:92Ch 17:16Psa 110:3Php 2:131Co 9:172Co 8:122Co 9:72Sa 22:47-48
because the people offered themselves willingly,

Give ear, you princes!
I, even I, will sing to the LORD.
I will sing praise to the LORD, the God of Israel.
“LORD, when you went out of Seir, Deu 33:2Psa 68:7-8Psa 77:17Psa 18:7-152Sa 22:8Job 9:6Hab 3:3-6
when you marched out of the field of Edom,
the earth trembled, the sky also dropped.
Yes, the clouds dropped water.
The mountains quaked at the LORD’s presence, Exo 19:18Psa 97:5Isa 64:1-3Nam 1:5Hab 3:10Heb 12:18Psa 68:8Deu 4:11-12

“In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, Isa 33:8Jdg 3:31Lam 1:4Lev 26:222Ch 15:5Jdg 4:17-18Lam 4:18Mic 3:12
in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied.
The travelers walked through byways.
The rulers ceased in Israel. 2Sa 20:19Isa 49:23Est 9:19Jdg 4:4-6Rom 16:13
They ceased until I, Deborah, arose;
Until I arose a mother in Israel.
They chose new gods. Deu 32:16-17Jdg 2:12Jdg 2:171Sa 13:19-22Jdg 4:3
Then war was in the gates.
Was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
My heart is toward the governors of Israel, Jdg 5:21Ch 29:92Co 8:122Co 8:172Co 8:3-42Co 9:5
who offered themselves willingly among the people.
Bless the LORD!

you who sit on rich carpets,
and you who walk by the way.
Far from the noise of archers, in the places of drawing water, Mic 6:5Jdg 5:81Sa 12:7Deu 22:24Jer 7:2Lam 5:4Lam 5:9Isa 12:3
there they will rehearse the LORD’s righteous acts,
the righteous acts of his rule in Israel.
“Then the LORD’s people went down to the gates.
‘Awake, awake, Deborah! Eph 4:8Psa 68:18Psa 57:82Ti 2:26Eph 5:141Co 15:34Isa 60:1Jer 31:26
Awake, awake, utter a song!
Arise, Barak, and lead away your captives, you son of Abinoam.’
“Then a remnant of the nobles and the people came down. Rev 2:26-27Isa 41:15-16Psa 75:7Rom 8:37Dan 7:18-27Ezk 17:24Psa 49:14Rev 3:9
The LORD came down for me against the mighty.
Those whose root is in Amalek came out of Ephraim, Jdg 12:15Jdg 3:13Jdg 3:27Num 32:39-40Exo 17:8-16Jdg 4:10Jdg 4:14Jdg 4:5-6

As was Issachar, so was Barak.
They rushed into the valley at his feet.
By the watercourses of Reuben,
there were great resolves of heart.
Why did you sit among the sheepfolds? Num 32:24Num 32:1-5Jdg 5:15Lam 3:40-41Php 2:21Php 3:19Psa 4:4Psa 77:6
To hear the whistling for the flocks?

there were great searchings of heart.
Gilead lived beyond the Jordan. Jos 13:25Jos 13:31Jos 19:24-31
Why did Dan remain in ships?
Asher sat still at the haven of the sea,
and lived by his creeks.
Zebulun was a people that jeopardized their lives to the death; Jdg 4:10Jdg 4:61Jn 3:16Act 20:24Est 4:16Jdg 4:14Rev 12:11
Naphtali also, on the high places of the field.
“The kings came and fought, Jdg 1:27Jdg 5:301Ki 4:12Gen 14:22Gen 4:16Jdg 4:13Jos 10:22-27Jos 11:1-15
then the kings of Canaan fought at Taanach by the waters of Megiddo.
They took no plunder of silver.
From the sky the stars fought. Jos 10:111Sa 7:10Jdg 4:15Psa 77:17-18
From their courses, they fought against Sisera.
The river Kishon swept them away, Jdg 4:7Mic 7:10Psa 44:51Ki 18:40Gen 49:18Isa 25:10Jdg 4:13Psa 83:9-10
that ancient river, the river Kishon.
My soul, march on with strength.
Then the horse hoofs stamped because of the prancing, Isa 5:28Jer 47:4Mic 4:13Psa 147:10-11Psa 20:7Psa 33:17
the prancing of their strong ones.
‘Curse Meroz,’ said the LORD’s angel. 1Co 16:221Co 3:9Jdg 21:9-10Jer 48:101Sa 17:471Sa 18:171Sa 25:281Sa 26:19

He asked for water. Jdg 4:19-21
She gave him milk.
She brought him butter in a lordly dish.
She put her hand to the tent peg, 1Sa 17:49-512Sa 20:22Jdg 4:21
and her right hand to the workmen’s hammer.
With the hammer she struck Sisera.
She struck through his head.
Yes, she pierced and struck through his temples.
At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay. Jas 2:13Psa 52:7Mat 7:2
At her feet he bowed, he fell.
Where he bowed, there he fell down dead.
“Through the window she looked out, and cried: 2Ki 1:2Jas 5:7Jdg 4:15Pro 7:6Sng 2:9Sng 8:14
Sisera’s mother looked through the lattice.
‘Why is his chariot so long in coming?
Why do the wheels of his chariots wait?’
Her wise ladies answered her,
Yes, she returned answer to herself,
‘Have they not found, have they not divided the plunder? Exo 15:92Sa 13:18Gen 37:3Job 20:5Psa 45:14
A lady, two ladies to every man;
to Sisera a plunder of dyed garments,
a plunder of dyed garments embroidered,
of dyed garments embroidered on both sides, on the necks of the plunder?’
