Judges 5:8

New International Version

⁸God chose new leaders^(A)
when war came to the city gates,^(B)
but not a shield or spear^(C) was seen
among forty thousand in Israel.

⁹My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the Lord.

⁹My heart is with Israel’s princes,
with the willing volunteers^(A) among the people.
Praise the Lord!
