"Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, [even] I, will sing unto Jehovah; I will sing praise to Jehovah, the God of Israel." — Judges 5:3 (ASV)
Hear, O you kings. —There were no kings or princes in Israel, but the appeal is to the “kings of the earth,” as in Psalm 2:10; for which reason the Septuagint render “princes” by satraps. The Chaldee refers it to the kings allied with Jabin.
