Deborah and Barak's Song: The LORD's Victory and Israel's Covenant Response
Judges 5 moves from a summons to praise the LORD for willing leaders and volunteers, through remembrance of His Sinai-like coming and Israel's covenant collapse, into tribal accountability, divine victory at Kishon, Jael's decisive blow, the humiliation of Sisera's household, and a closing prayer that the LORD's enemies perish while those who love Him rise like the sun.

20From the heavens the stars fought; from their courses they fought against Sisera.
21The River Kishon swept them away, the ancient river, the River Kishon. March on, O my soul, in strength!
22Then the hooves of horses thundered—the mad galloping of his stallions.
