Hear, you kings; give ear, you princes; I, [even] I, will sing to Yahweh; I will sing praise to Yahweh, the God of Israel.
This has puzzled some of the writers we have consulted, but the message is clear indeed.  Deborah is here attributing the victory of Israel to the God of the Sinai Covenant, and, accordingly, she represents him as coming to Israel's rescue from that direction, namely, from the south and from the east, and, since Sinai was southeast of Edom, God would have come through Edom on his way to help Israel.  And as Keil noted, "There is an allusion here to the great storm rising out of Seir from the east, in which the Lord advanced to meet his people."[11]
