Rashi, on Judg 5:14

“Out of Ephraim he destroyed them into Amalec, and after him out of Benjamin into thy people, O Amalec: Out of Machir there came down princes, and out of Zabulon they that led the army to fight.”

“In Ephraim. From Ephraim emerged the root of Yehoshua bin Nun's dominance over Amaleik when he debilitated them with the sword. This passage is related to the preceding one, as it explains "Adonoy empowered me over the mighty" by establishing Yehoshua's dominance over Amaleik. Your successor shall arise from the tribe of Binyomin. Shaul ben Kish, who will batter them and extinguish them like flickering embers. Another interpretation: "with your people, referring to the army of two hundred thousand infantrymen which Shaul mobilized against them. From Mochir descended warlords. Great lords who vanquished the Emorites. They captured sixty cities—the entire imperial zone conquered by Yair.”
