Commentary on Judges 5:12

Theological / Devotional

Awake. In poetic terms the call is given to Deborah to rouse herself and summon the tribes.

Utter a song. Not the song of praise for victory but a war song to stir up the tribes and fire them for battle.

Arise, Barak. As the recognized military leader of the Hebrews, Barak is addressed and urged to launch out on a campaign that would result in the captors’ being captured.
