Judges 5:13

Then came down a remnant The Massoretic scribes intended the verb to mean -then may the remnant (i.e. of Israel) rule over the noble ones," a prayer; but the noble oneslike the mightyare most naturally Israelites, and after thenthe LXX and other Verss. give a perfect. With a slight change of pronunciation the RV. renders -Then came down a remnant of the nobles andthe people," inserting andwithout any right. The word for remnantmeans, not -a mere handful," but survivorsfrom a battle, a sense unsuitable here; we may perhaps correct the form to Israel(Budde, Moore), and thus obtain a good parallelism to the people of the Lord, as the words are to be read (LXX. B). The whole verse may be restored:

Then came down Israel like noble ones,

The people of the Lord came down for Him as heroes.

For Him(LXX) is preferable to for mein the text.
