Judges 4:1-9
1After EhudH164 diedH4191, the IsraelitesH1121H3478 againH3254 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068. 2So the LORDH3068 sold themH4376 into the handH3027 of JabinH2985 kingH4428 of CanaanH3667, whoH834 reignedH4427 in HazorH2674. The commanderH8269 of his forcesH6635 was SiseraH5516, whoH1931 livedH3427 in Harosheth-hagoyimH2800H1471. 3Then the IsraelitesH1121H3478 cried outH6817 toH413 the LORDH3068, becauseH3588 Jabin had nineH8672 hundredH3967 chariotsH7393 of ironH1270, and heH1931 had harshlyH2394 oppressedH3905 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 for twentyH6242 yearsH8141.
4Now DeborahH1683, a prophetessH802H5031, the wifeH802 of LappidothH3941, was judgingH8199 IsraelH3478 at thatH1931 timeH6256H1931. 5And sheH1931 would sitH3427 underH8478 the PalmH8560 of DeborahH1683 betweenH996 RamahH7414H996 and BethelH1008 in the hill countryH2022 of EphraimH669, where the IsraelitesH1121H3478 would go upH5927 to herH413 for judgmentH4941.
6She summonedH7971H7121 BarakH1301 sonH1121 of AbinoamH42 from KedeshH6943 in NaphtaliH5321 and saidH559 to himH413, “Surely the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, is commanding youH6680: ‘GoH1980 and marchH4900 to MountH2022 TaborH8396, takingH3947 with youH5973 tenH6235 thousandH505 menH376 of NaphtaliH1121H5321 and ZebulunH1121H2074. 7And I will draw outH4900 SiseraH5516 the commanderH8269 of Jabin’sH2985 armyH6635, his chariotsH7393, and his troopsH1995 toH413 the RiverH5158 KishonH7028, and I will deliver himH5414 into your handH3027.’”
8BarakH1301 saidH559 to herH413, “IfH518 you will goH1980 with meH5973, I will goH1980; but ifH518 you will notH3808 goH1980 with meH5973, I will notH3808 goH1980.”
9“I will certainly goH1980 with youH5973,” Deborah repliedH559, “butH657H3588 the roadH1870 youH859 are takingH1980 will bring youH1961 noH3808 honorH8597, becauseH3588 the LORDH3068 will be sellingH4376 SiseraH5516 into the handH3027 of a womanH802.” So DeborahH1683 got upH6965 and wentH1980 withH5973 BarakH1301 to KedeshH6943,
