Matthew Poole and continuators on Judges 5:18

18 Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death, in the high places of the field .

Heb. despised, or reproached, or contemned, comparatively; they chose rather to venture upon a generous and honourable Death, than to enjoy a shameful and servile Life.

i. e. Upon that large and eminent Plain in the top of Mount Tabor, where they put themselves in Battel Array, and expected the Enemy; though when they saw he did not come up to them, they marched down to meet, and Fight him.

Marginal references: Chap. 4. 10.; Heb. exposed to reproach.
