They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
Eligieron adorar dioses nuevos; entonces la guerra llegó hasta las puertas de sus ciudades. ¿Acaso se podía encontrar un solo escudo o lanza entre cuarenta mil personas en Israel?

📚 Contexto Histórico
In the time of the Judges, ancient Israel repeatedly turned away from God to worship foreign idols, which led to cycles of oppression by neighboring enemies like the Canaanites. This verse from the Song of Deborah, a victory hymn after Israel's defeat of Sisera's army, highlights how their unfaithfulness resulted in vulnerability, with no shields or spears among 40,000 men, symbolizing their weakened state. It reflects the broader biblical pattern of God's people facing consequences for spiritual betrayal.
