This fashion was also observed among the Jews; as we frequently find it. After a great conquest of the Philistines, the people of Israel sung; Saul hath ⟨p. 2⟩slain his thousand, and David his ten thousand. When Joshua had overthrown those five Kings;1 at whose prayer the Sun stood still, and the day was made longer then ever the world saw before, or since; the people sung, The Sun stood still in Gibeon, and the Moon in the valley of Aialon. When Israel had crossed the red Sea with dry feet, and the returning waters had drowned their pursuing enemies; Moses and the people sung this Song,2 The Lord is a man of war, the Lord is his Name, &c. Here Debora having conquered Sisera, with his nine hundred Chariots of iron, she sung this triumphant Song to the Lord; Praise ye the Lord for the avenging of Israel: Hear O ye Kings, I will sing to the Lord.
