The princes of Issachar were with Deborah; Issachar was with Barak; they were under his leadership , in the valley. There was great searching of heart among the clans of Reuben.
Then Deborah said to Barak, ‘Go! This is the day the Lord has handed Sisera over to you. Hasn’t the Lord gone before you? ’ So Barak came down from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men following him.
She summoned Barak son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali and said to him, ‘Hasn’t the Lord, the God of Israel, commanded you, “Go, deploy the troops on Mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men from the Naphtalites and Zebulunites?
All these officials of yours will come down to me and bow before me, saying: Get out, you and all the people who follow you. After that, I will get out.’ And he went out from Pharaoh’s presence fiercely angry.
He sent messengers throughout all of Manasseh, who rallied behind him. He also sent messengers throughout Asher, Zebulun, and Naphtali, who also came to meet him.
