Judges 5:21

Kishon

19 Kings came and fought; then the kings of Canaan fought at Taanach by the waters of Megiddo, but they took no plunder of silver.

20 From the heavens the stars fought; from their courses they fought against Sisera.

The River Kishon swept them away, the ancient river, the River Kishon. March on, O my soul, in strength!

22 Then the hooves of horses thundered— the mad galloping of his stallions.

23 ‘Curse Meroz,’ says the angel of the LORD. ‘Bitterly curse her inhabitants; for they did not come to help the LORD, to help the LORD against the mighty.’
