## Judges 5:6-8 in Context (Verses 3–11 KJV)
 
 [3 ](/kjv/judges/5/3) Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, *even* I, will sing unto the LORD; I will sing *praise* to the LORD God of Israel.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/judges/5/4) LORD, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/judges/5/5) The mountains melted from before the LORD, *even* that Sinai from before the LORD God of Israel.*
 
 [6 ](/kjv/judges/5/6) In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways.**
 
 [7 ](/kjv/judges/5/7) *The inhabitants of* the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/judges/5/8) They chose new gods; then *was* war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
 
 [9 ](/kjv/judges/5/9) My heart *is* toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the LORD.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/judges/5/10) Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.*
 
 [11 ](/kjv/judges/5/11) *They that are delivered* from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, *even* the righteous acts *toward the inhabitants* of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the LORD go down to the gates.*
