Juges 5:14–18 (NEG79)

14 D'Ephraïm arrivèrent les habitants d'Amalek.A ta suite marcha Benjamin parmi ta troupe.De Makir vinrent des chefs,Et de Zabulon des commandants.

In these verses, “Deborah recites the roll of Israelite warriors. However, in so doing she laments the incompleteness of the list. The catalog of troops is divided into three groups: the volunteers (Judges 5:14–15a); the resistors (Judges 5:15–17); the award winners (Judges 5:18)."1
