¶The .v. Chapter.
1. Then sang Deborah, and Barak the son of Abimam the same day, saying: 2 Praise ye the Lord for the avenging of Israel, and for the people that offered them selves willingly.

The ditty or song which is here written, belongeth to a demonstrative kind of oration: for it comprehendeth both praises and dispraises. Praises chiefly of god, which was the principal author of this victory: for in overcoming Sisera, it is mentioned that he used the aid of the Stars of heaven, and of the tempest. Deborah also and Barak are praised, likewise Jael, and also these few weak and unarmed men of the tribe of Zebulun and Naphtali, which obeyed the Oracle of god. On the contrary part Sisera is dispraised as a most cruel enemy of the people of god: & they are sharply rebuked, which believed not the word of god, but despised the commandments of Barak and words of Deborah: & having a regard to their own weakness, and not so much esteeming the goodness and promises of god as they should have done, they refused the battle appointed them of God.

On the contrary part Sisera is dispraised as a most cruel enemy of the people of god: & they are sharpely rebuked, which beleued not the word of god, but despised the commaundementes of Barak and woordes of Deborah: & hauing a regarde to their own weakenes, and not so much esteeming the goodnes and promises of god as they should haue done, they refused the battayle appoynted them of God.
