Judg 5:9 · Douay-Rheims
“My heart loveth the princes of Israel: O you that of your own good will offered yourselves to danger, bless the Lord.”
On this verse:
“9 My heart inclines to the leaders of Israel; To those who offered themselves willingly in the nation. Praise ye the Lord! 10 Ye that ride upon white asses; Ye that sit upon covering, And that walk in the way, reflect! 11 With the voice of the archers among drawers (of water), There praise ye the righteous acts of the Lord, The righteous acts of His villages in Israel. Then the people of the Lord went down to the gates! We must supply the subst. verb in connection with ל לבּי, "My heart is (sc., inclined) towards the leaders of Israel," i.e., feels itself drawn towards them. הוקק for מהוקק (Jdg 5:14), the determining one, i.e., the commander or leader in war: as in Deu 33:21. The leaders and willing ones are first of all to praise the Lord for having crowned their willingness with victory.”
