Quote from: Judges 4
10 There Barak summoned Zebulun and Naphtali, and ten thousand men went up under his command. Deborah also went up with him.

........

14 Then Deborah said to Barak, “Go! This is the day the LORD has given Sisera into your hands. Has not the LORD gone ahead of you?” So Barak went down Mount Tabor, with ten thousand men following him. 15 At Barak’s advance, the LORD routed Sisera and all his chariots and army by the sword, and Sisera got down from his chariot and fled on foot.

Shouldn't Zebulun be warrior-class (or at least "fought in an earthly battle")?

I think this is referring to the tribe of Zebulun, not Zebulun himself.  I don't think Zeb lived to the time of the judges

Different Zebulun.  Only a few hundred years between them. :)

Well, I feel silly. You'd think they could have put "tribes" in there for us people that don't have the timeline memorized. >_<
