The meaning and allusion are obscure, and little is known of the history of the tribe of Naphtali. In association with Zebulun, under Barak it obtained a great victory over the Canaanite king Jabin, which the prophetess Deborah commemorated in her celebrated song (see Judges 4, 5).
He giveth goodly words.
This must be an allusion to a gift in eloquence and song manifested in that northern tribe, though no historical records of such activity in the tribe of Naphtali have survived.
