Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches. 18Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that ieoparded their liues vnto the death, in the high places of the field. 19The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo, they tooke no gaine of money. 20They fought from heauen, the starres in their courses fought against Sisera.

Wesley's Notes for Judges 5:18
5:18 Jeoparded - Heb. despised, comparatively; they chose rather to venture upon a generous and honourable death, than to enjoy a shameful and servile life. High - places - That is, upon that large and eminent plain in the top of mount Tabor, where they put themselves in battle array, and expected the enemy; though when they saw they did not come up to them, they marched down to meet them.
