Judges 4

4:1And the sons of Israel proceeded to act wickedly before the lord; and Ehud died.

4:2And the lord delivered them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor; and the ruler of his force was Sisera, and he dwelt in Harosheth of the nations.

4:3And the sons of Israel cried out to the lord, because nine hundred chariots of iron were his. And he afflicted Israel by might for twenty years.

4:4And Deborah, a woman prophetess, wife of Lapidoth -- she judged Israel in that time.

4:5And she sat down under the palm of Deborah, between Rama and between Beth-el, in mount Ephraim; and the sons of Israel ascended to her there to be judged.

4:6And Deborah sent and called Barak son of Abinoam from out of Kedesh Naphtali. And she said to him, Did not the lord God of Israel give charge to you, that, You shall go forth unto mount Tabor, and you shall take with yourself ten thousand men of the sons of Naphtali, and of the sons of Zebulun?

4:7And I shall bring to you at the rushing stream Kishon Sisera ruler of the force of Jabin, and his chariots, and his multitude; and I will deliver him into your hand.

4:8And Barak said to her, If you should go with me, I will go; and if you should not go, will I not go.

4:9And Deborah said to him, In going I will go with you. Except know that the honor will not be yours in the way which you go; for by the hand of a woman the lord will deliver up Sisera. And Deborah rose up and went with Barak from out of Kedesh.

4:10And Barak summoned Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh. And ascended by his feet ten thousand men; and Deborah ascended with him.

4:11And the near ones of the Kenite were separated from Kena, from the sons of Hobab father-in-law of Moses. And he pitched his tent by Oak of the ones Resting, which is next to Kedesh.

4:12And it was announced to Sisera that Barak son of Abinoam ascended unto mount Tabor.

4:13And Sisera called all his chariots -- nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people with him, from Harosheth of the nations unto the rushing stream Kishon.

4:14And Deborah said to Barak, Rise up! for this is the day in which the lord delivers Sisera into your hand. Behold is not the lord gone in front of you? And Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men behind him.

4:15And the lord startled Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his camp, by the mouth of the broadsword before Barak. And Sisera came down from on top of his chariot, and he fled by his feet.

4:16And Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the camp unto Oak of the Nations. And all the camp of Sisera fell by the mouth of the broadsword; there was not left behind even one.

4:17And Sisera withdrew by his feet to the tent of Jael wife of Heber the Kenite; for there was peace between Jabin king of Hazor and between the house of Heber the Kenite.

4:18And Jael came forth for a meeting with Sisera, and she said to him, Turn aside, O my master, turn aside to me, do not fear! And he turned aside to her into the tent, and she covered him with her hide covering.

4:19And Sisera said to her, Give a drink please to me, a little water! for I am thirsty. And she opened the leather bag of the milk, and she gave him to drink, and she covered his person.

4:20And he said to her, Stand in the door of the tent! And it will be if a man should come to you, and should ask you, and should say to you, Is a man here? That you shall say, There is not.

4:21And Jael the wife of Heber took the peg of the tent, and put the hammer in her hand, and she entered to him tranquilly, and she hammered in the peg into his cheek, and thrust it through into the ground. And he being startled was enveloped in darkness and died.

4:22And, behold, Barak was pursuing Sisera. And Jael came forth for meeting him, and she said to him, Come, and I will show to you the man whom you seek. And he entered with her. And behold, there was Sisera having fallen dead, and the peg in his temple.

4:23And God abased in that day Jabin king of Canaan in front of the sons of Israel.

4:24And the hand of the sons of Israel went forth going, and hardening against Jabin king of Canaan, until of which time they utterly destroyed him.
