“Out of Ephraim was there a root of them against Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy people; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.”
From Ephraim they set out into the valley, following you, Benjamin, with your kin; from Makir marched down the commanders, and from Zebulun those who bear the marshal's staff. — The tribal enumeration traces the geographical deployment of forces. Ephraim, Benjamin, Makir (a Manassite clan), and Zebulun represent the northern tribes who answered Deborah's call, indicating that the victory united diverse tribal contingents.
