Issachar

"Also the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; and, like Issachar, so also Barak was sent on foot into the valley" (v. 15). This looks somewhat like the case of Machir. These princes did not consider themselves superior to the soldiers. They came and were a help. The "valley" speaks of a low place. These men apparently accompanied Barak "on foot" into the valley in order to secure the victory. They had no horses or chariots, which you might imagine a prince would have. But that did not discourage them. Again, we see willingness and humility being the keys to success in serving the Lord.
