Benjamin came with your people after you.
The leaders came down from Machir,(A)
and those who carry a marshal’s staff came from Zebulun.
15 The princes of Issachar were with Deborah;
Issachar was with Barak;
they were under his leadership[b](B) in the valley.
There was great searching[c] of heart
among the clans of Reuben.
16 Why did you sit among the sheep pens[d]
listening to the playing of pipes for the flocks?
There was great searching of heart
among the clans of Reuben.
