JUD-4:1 And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight
of the LORD, when Ehud was dead.
JUD-4:2 And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of
Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host [was]
Sisera, which dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles.
JUD-4:3 And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD: for he
had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily
oppressed the children of Israel.
JUD-4:4 And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she
judged Israel at that time.
JUD-4:5 And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between
Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel
came up to her for judgment.
JUD-4:6 And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of
Kedeshnaphtali, and said unto him, Hath not the LORD God of
Israel commanded, [saying], Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and
take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and
of the children of Zebulun?
JUD-4:7 And I will draw unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera,
the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude;
and I will deliver him into thine hand.
JUD-4:8 And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I
will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, [then] I will not go.
JUD-4:9 And she said, I will surely go with thee:
notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for
thine honour; for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a
woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
JUD-4:10 And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and he
went up with ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up
with him.
JUD-4:11 Now Heber the Kenite, [which was] of the children of
Hobab the father in law of Moses, had severed himself from the
Kenites, and pitched his tent unto the plain of Zaanaim, which
[is] by Kedesh.
JUD-4:12 And they showed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam
was gone up to mount Tabor.
JUD-4:13 And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, [even]
nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that [were]
with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles unto the river of
Kishon.
JUD-4:14 And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this [is] the day
in which the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thine hand: is not
the LORD gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount
Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
JUD-4:15 And the LORD discomfited Sisera, and all [his] chariots,
and all [his] host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so
that Sisera lighted down off [his] chariot, and fled away on his
feet.
JUD-4:16 But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the
host, unto Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the host of Sisera
fell upon the edge of the sword; [and] there was not a man left.
JUD-4:17 Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of
Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite: for [there was] peace between
Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.
JUD-4:18 And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said unto him,
Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had
turned in unto her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle.
JUD-4:19 And he said unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a little
water to drink; for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of
milk, and gave him drink, and covered him.
JUD-4:20 Again he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent,
and it shall be, when any man doth come and inquire of thee, and
say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No.
