Judges 5:8-10

8 Israel chose new gods,
then there was war in the city gates.
Not a shield or spear was seen
among forty thousand in Israel.

with the volunteers of the people.
Blessed be the Lord!
10 You who ride on white[a] donkeys,
who sit on saddle blankets,
and who travel on the road, give praise!
