Judges 5:9-18
My heart is with Israel’s princes, with the willing volunteers among the people. Praise the Lord!
You who ride on white donkeys, sitting on your saddle blankets, and you who walk along the road, consider the voice of the singers at the watering places. They recite the victories of the Lord, the victories of his villagers in Israel.
The remnant of the nobles came down; the people of the Lord came down to me against the mighty. Some came from Ephraim, Benjamin was with the people who followed you. from Zebulun those who bear a commander’s staff. The princes of Issachar were with Deborah.
Why did you stay among the sheep pens to hear the whistling for the flocks? In the districts of Reuben there was much searching of heart.
Gilead stayed beyond the Jordan. And Dan, why did he linger by the ships? Asher remained on the coast and stayed in his coves. The people of Zebulun risked their very lives; so did Naphtali on the terraced fields.
The song that celebrates the battle provides the clue to the victory.
Why?
There were four tribes that did not follow Barak to fight against the enemies.
Song praised Israel's princes, they were willing volunteers among the people.
For those who ride on white donkeys, it is like the Jesus Christ ride on the donkey. He is the victories of his villagers in Israel.
How?
Praise the Lord, Be strong! For the Lord is with us.
