8 When new gods were chosen, then war was in the gates. Was shield or spear to be seen among forty thousand in Israel?	8 ܢܓܒܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܚܕܬܐ ܘܗܝܕܝܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܕܣܥܪ̈ܐ ܘܣܝܦܐ ܘܪܘܡܚܐ ܠܐ ܢܬܚܙܐ ܒܝܢܬ ܐܪ̈ܒܥܝܢ ܐ̈ܠܦܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ

11 To the sound of musicians at the watering places, there they repeat the triumphs of the LORD, the triumphs of his peasantry in Israel.

15 the princes of Issachar came with Deborah, and Issachar faithful to Barak; into the valley they rushed forth at his heels. Among the clans of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.	15 ܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܐ ܕܐܝܣܟܪ ܥܡ ܕܒܘܪܐ ܘܐܝܣܟܪ ܐܝܟ ܒܪܩ ܒܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܐܫܬܕܪ ܒܪ̈ܓܠܘܗܝ ܠܦܠܓܘܬܐ ܕܪܘܒܝܠ ܪ̈ܘܪܒܝܢ ܒܕܩ̈ܝ ܠܒܐ
