Jueces 5:18

18 Pero Zabulón arriesgó la vida,
igual que Neftalí, en las alturas del campo de batalla.

Jueces 5:18 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 5:18

Zebulun and Naphtali were a people
These two tribes were chiefly concerned in this war; out of them were the 10,000 men that followed Barak, who willingly offered themselves, and were the most active and vigorous:

[that] jeoparded themselves unto the death;
exposed them to the utmost danger, fearless of death itself: or reproached ^F11 their lives; were careless of them, valued them not; they were not dear to them, but were ready to part with them freely, in the cause of liberty in which they were engaged:

in the high places of the field;
on the top of Mount Tabor, where they were mustered, and from whence they beheld the vast host of Sisera surrounding them; and yet, with an undaunted bravery and courage, descended the hill to fight with them. The Vulgate Latin version reads, "in the country of Merome"; in the plains and fields of it, near which were the waters of Merom, where Joshua fought Jabin, a former king of Canaan, and supposed by some to be the same with Kishon here, ( Joshua 11:5 ) ( Psalms 83:9 ) .

Jueces 5:18 In-Context

para oír a los pastores silbar a sus rebaños?
Así es, en la tribu de Rubén
hubo gran indecisión.

Y ¿por qué Dan se quedó en su casa?

igual que Neftalí, en las alturas del campo de batalla.
