Juízes 5:12 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 5:12

Awake, awake, Deborah, awake, awake, utter a song,
&c] Either perceiving some languor and remissness in her spirits, while she was delivering this song, and therefore arouses herself to attend to this service with more ardour and zeal; or rather finding herself more impressed with a sense of the great and good things the Lord had done for Israel, calls upon her soul to exert all its powers in celebrating the praises of the Lord, and therefore repeats the word awake so often as she does:

arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam;
for though the whole army of Sisera was destroyed, that not a man was left, ( Judges 4:16 ) yet as Barak pursued to Harosheth of the Gentiles, many there and in other places which fell into his hands, that belonged to Jabin, might be taken captive by him; and though the Canaanites were to be slain, yet they might first be led captive in triumph; and besides, there might be some of other nations that were taken by him in this war; see ( Psalms 68:18 ) .

Juízes 5:12 In-Context

10 “Vocês, que cavalgam em brancos jumentos,que se assentam em ricos tapetes,que caminham pela estrada,considerem!

11 Mais alto que a voz dos que distribuem água junto aos bebedouros,recitem-se os justos feitos do SENHOR,os justos feitos em favor dos camponeses de Israel.“Então o povo dodesceu às portas.

12 ‘Desperte, Débora! Desperte!Desperte, desperte, irrompa em cânticos!Levante-se, Baraque!Leve presos os seus prisioneiros, ó filho de Abinoão!’

13 “Então desceram os restantes e foram aos nobres;o povo do SENHOR veio a mim contra os poderosos.

14 Alguns vieram de Efraim, das raízes de Amaleque;Benjamim estava com o povo que seguiu você.De Maquir desceram comandantes;de Zebulom, os que levam a vara de oficial.
