The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): Et sedebat sub palma, quæ nomine illius vocabatur, inter Rama et Bethel in monte Ephraim : ascendebantque ad eam filii Israël in omne judicium.
Septuagint (Swete): καὶ αὐτὴ ἐκάθητο ὑπὸ φοίνικα Δεββωρὰ ἀνὰ μέσον τῆς Βαμὰ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῆς Βαιθὴλ ἐν τῷ ὄρει Ἐφράιμ, καὶ ἀνέβαινον πρὸς αὐτὴν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ εἰς κρίσιν.
Hebrew (WLC): וְ֠הִיא יוֹשֶׁ֨בֶת תַּֽחַת תֹּ֜מֶר דְּבוֹרָ֗ה בֵּ֧ין הָרָמָ֛ה וּבֵ֥ין בֵּֽית אֵ֖ל בְּהַ֣ר אֶפְרָ֑יִם וַיַּעֲל֥וּ אֵלֶ֛יהָ בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לַמִּשְׁפָּֽט

Haydock's commentary

Name. Hebrew, "she dwelt (or sat to judge) under the palm-tree of Debbora." "The oak of weeping," allon Bacuth, under which Debbora, the nurse of Rebecca, was interred, was also near Bethel, Genesis xxxv. 8. (Haydock)

This city was on the confines of the tribes of Ephraim and of Benjamin, over which Debbora chiefly exercised her authority; and here she was consulted by the people. (Calmet)
