פירוש על שופטים 5:16

The shrieking companies. Listening to the sounds emitted by the companies engaged in battle, to determine which was the cry of triumph, and which the cry of defeat.

Why did you stay among the sheepfolds: That is to say, if you answer that you are frightened to come down to war, to face weaponry - if so, why at first did you settle the holding on the other side of the Jordan, between the border of the Land of Israel and the border of the nations? Is that not a dangerous place? So why did you choose to settle on this border?

From the word of language, and its a matter of border. just as the Targum: "border." this is also the translation of border in 49:14 "creeping between the sheepfolds."
