Judges 5:12-14
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
12 Awake, awake, Deborah! Awake, awake, utter a song! Arise, Barak, and lead away your captives, you son of Abinoam.
13 Then down marched the remnant of the nobles, the people of the Lord marched down for Me against the mighty.
14 Out of Ephraim they came down whose root is in Amalek, after you, Benjamin, with your kinsmen. Out of Machir came down commanders and lawgivers, and out of Zebulun those who [a]handle the pen or stylus of the writer.

- Judges 5:14 Reference at this date (about 1150 b.c.) to a writer is no more surprising than the mention of “the city of books” in Judg. 1:11. Writing, and alphabetical writing at that, had been practiced for some centuries along the Syrian Coast... Quantities of papyrus [the pith of papyrus was used for writing] were exported from Egypt to Phoenicia at around 1100 b.c. (Judg. 8:14) (F. Davidson, ed., The New Bible Commentary). “Zebulun, formerly known only for [its] experts with the ciphering-pencil, had now become a people courageous unto death” (J.P. Lange, A Commentary).
