Judges 5:16 in Context — Judges 5
14 De Efraim saiu sua raiz contra Amaleque, Depois ti, Benjamim, contra teus povos; De Maquir desceram príncipes, E de Zebulom os que costumavam manejar vara de oficial.
15 Príncipes também de Issacar foram com Débora; E como Issacar, também Baraque Se pôs a pé no vale. Das divisões de Rúben houve grandes impressões do coração.
16 Por que te restaste entre os currais, Para ouvir os balidos dos rebanhos? Das divisões de Rúben Grandes foram os questionamentos do coração.
17 Gileade se restou da outra parte do Jordão: E Dã por que se esteve junto aos navios? Manteve-se Aser à beira do mar, E ficou em seus portos.
18 O povo de Zebulom expôs sua vida à morte, E Naftali nas alturas do campo.
