Judges 5
1. The Song of Deborah and Barak














(12) Awake, awake, Deborah.--The prophetess rouses herself in this verse--which forms an introduction to the second section of the song--to describe the loyalty of the tribes and the grandeur of the victory.

Lead thy captivity captive.--Lead in triumph thy long train of captives. For the expression, comp. Revelation 13:10.

Verse 12. - Awake, etc. She seems to go back in thought to the moment when she received the Divine call to her mission of deliverance, and executed it by the voice of her stirring prophecies. Then she lashed her soul into action, and roused Barak from his lethargy by the promise of spoil and victory.
