Valley WatercoursesJudges 5 1. The Song of Deborah and BarakThe princes of Issachar The tribe of Issachar is noted for its wisdom and understanding of the times (1 Chronicles 12:32). The "princes" here refer to the leaders or chiefs of the tribe, who aligned themselves with Deborah, the prophetess and judge of Israel. This alliance signifies the tribe's recognition of divine leadership and their willingness to support God's chosen leaders. Historically, Issachar's territory was fertile and strategically located, which may have contributed to their influential role in Israel's tribal confederation. were with Deborah yes, Issachar was with Barak sent under his command into the valley In the districts of Reuben there was much searching of heart Even Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley.--Rather, even Issachar, as well as Barak, rushed down at his feet (i.e., after Barak) into the plain (emek)."

For the divisions of Reuben there were great thoughts of heart.--The word for "divisions" (pelagoth) might mean "families" or "clans," as the LXX., or "factions," as the Vulgate seems to have understood it; but it almost certainly means streams, as in Job 20:17 (margin, "streaming brooks"), where alone it recurs. The allusion is to the Jabbok and its numerous affluents. "Thoughts of heart" only occurs elsewhere in Isaiah 12:1. where it is rendered "decrees," with the epithet "empty," or "vain." Possibly, therefore, an ironic contrast is intended between the magnanimous "decisions" (chikekey l?bh) of Reuben and his evanescent "projects"( chikerey l?bh). The play of words is almost certainly contemptuous, and there may be some lurking scorn in the word pelagoth to imply either "rivers" or "factions." Reuben debated and stayed at home on frivolous pretences, as Sparta did in the days of Marathon. But even then the sting of the reproach lies in the taunting question of the next verse. Verse 15. - He was sent on foot into the valley. It was a mark of extraordinary valour that he rushed down from Mount Tabor on foot against the 900 iron chariots in the plain (Judges 4:14).
