Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Judges 5:15

_ _ Then comes a reproachful notice of the tribes which did not obey the summons to take the field against the common enemy of Israel. By the

_ _ divisions — that is, the watercourses which descend from the eastern hills unto the Jordan and Dead Sea.

_ _ For the divisions of Reuben there were great thoughts of heart — They felt the patriotic impulse and determined, at first, to join the ranks of their western brethren, but resiled from the purpose, preferring their peaceful shepherd songs to the trumpet sound of war.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Judges 5:12-23.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Judges 5:15

With Deborah — Ready to assist her. Issachar — Heb. and Issachar, that is, the tribe or people of Issachar, following the counsel and example of their princes. Barak — That is, they were as hearty and valiant as Barak their general; and as he marched on foot against their enemies horses and chariots, and that into the valley, where the main use of horses and chariots lies; so did they with no less courage and resolution. Divisions — Or, separations, not so much one from another, (for they seem to be all so well agreed in abiding at home with their sheep) as all from their brethren, from whom they were divided no less in their designs and affections, than in their situation by the river Jordan: and they would not join their interests and forces with them in this common cause. Great thoughts — Or, great searchings, great and sad thoughts, and debates, and perplexities of mind among the Israelites, to see themselves deserted by so great and potent a tribe as Reuben was.
