1And the children of IsraelH3478 again did evilH7451 in the sight of Jehovah; now EhudH164 was deadH4191. 2And Jehovah soldH4376 them into the handH3027 of JabinH2985 kingH4428 of CanaanH3667, who reignedH4427 in HazorH2674; and the captain of his armyH6635 was SiseraH5516, who dweltH3427 in Harosheth-Goim. 3And the children of IsraelH3478 criedH6817 to Jehovah; for he had nineH8672 hundredH3967 chariotsH7393 of ironH1270, and he mightily oppressedH3905 the children of IsraelH3478 twentyH6242 yearsH8141. 4And DeborahH1683, a prophetessH5031, the wifeH802 of Lapidoth, judgedH8199 IsraelH3478 at that timeH6256. 5And she dweltH3427 under the palm-tree of DeborahH1683 between RamahH7414 and Bethel in mount EphraimH669; and the children of IsraelH3478 cameH5927 up to her for judgmentH4941. 6And she sentH7971 and calledH7121 BarakH1301 the sonH1121 of AbinoamH42 out of Kedesh-Naphtali, and saidH559 to him, Hath not Jehovah the 1GodH430 of IsraelH3478 commandedH6680? GoH7971 and drawH4900 towards mount TaborH8396, and takeH3947 with thee tenH6235 thousandH505 menH376 of the children of NaphtaliH5321 and of the children of ZebulunH2074, 7and I will drawH4900 unto thee, to the torrent KishonH7028, SiseraH5516, the captain of Jabin's armyH6635, and his chariotsH7393 and his multitudeH1995, and I will giveH5414 him into thy handH3027. 8And BarakH1301 saidH559 to her, If thou goest with me, then I will goH1980, but if thou goest not with me, I will not goH1980. 9And she saidH559, I will by all means goH1980 with thee, onlyH657 that it will not beH1961 to thine honour upon the wayH1870 which thou goest, for Jehovah will sellH4376 SiseraH5516 into the handH3027 of a womanH802. And DeborahH1683 aroseH6965, and wentH1980 with BarakH1301 to KedeshH6943. 10And BarakH1301 calledH2199 togetherH2199 ZebulunH2074 and NaphtaliH5321 to KedeshH6943; and there wentH5927 up at his feetH7272 tenH6235 thousandH505 menH376; and DeborahH1683 wentH5927 up with him. 11(Now HeberH2268 the KeniteH7017 had severed himself from the Kenites, from the children of HobabH2246 the father-in-law of MosesH4872, and had pitchedH5186 his tentH168 as far as the oak of Zaannaim, which is by KedeshH6943.) 12And they toldH5046 SiseraH5516 that BarakH1301 the sonH1121 of AbinoamH42 had goneH5927 up to mount TaborH8396. 13Then SiseraH5516 gathered togetherH2199 all his chariotsH7393, nineH8672 hundredH3967 chariotsH7393 of ironH1270, and all the peopleH5971 that were with him, from Harosheth-Goim to the torrent KishonH7028. 14And DeborahH1683 saidH559 to BarakH1301, Up; for this is the dayH3117 in which Jehovah hath givenH5414 SiseraH5516 into thy handH3027! Is not Jehovah goneH3318 out before thee? And BarakH1301 wentH3318 downH3381 from mount TaborH8396, and tenH6235 thousandH505 menH376 after him. 15And Jehovah discomfited SiseraH5516, and all the chariotsH7393, and all the armyH4264, with the edge of the swordH2719 before BarakH1301; and SiseraH5516 got downH3381 from [his] chariotH4818, and fledH5127 on footH7272. 16And BarakH1301 pursuedH7291 after the chariotsH7393, and after the armyH4264, to Harosheth-Goim; and all the armyH4264 of SiseraH5516 fellH5307 by the edge of the swordH2719; not oneH259 was leftH7604. 17And SiseraH5516 fledH5127 on footH7272 to the tentH168 of JaelH3278 the wifeH802 of HeberH2268 the KeniteH7017; for there was peaceH7965 between JabinH2985 the kingH4428 of HazorH2674 and the houseH1004 of HeberH2268 the KeniteH7017. 18And JaelH3278 wentH3318 out to meet SiseraH5516, and saidH559 to him, TurnH5493 in, my lordH113, turnH5493 in to me; fearH3372 not. And he turnedH5493 in to her, into the tentH168, and she coveredH3680 him with the quilt. 19And he saidH559 to her, GiveH8248 me, I pray thee, a littleH4592 waterH4325 to drinkH8248, for I am thirstyH6770. And she openedH6605 the flask of milkH2461, and gave him drinkH8248, and coveredH3680 him. 20And he saidH559 to her, StandH5975 in the doorH6607 of the tentH168, and it shall beH1961 if any oneH376 comeH935 and inquire of thee, and sayH559, Is there any manH376 hereH6311? that thou shalt sayH559, No. 21And JaelH3278 Heber's wifeH802 tookH3947 a tent-pin, and tookH3947 the hammer in her handH3027, and wentH935 softly to him, and smote the pinH3489 into his templesH7541, and it penetrated into the groundH776; for he had fallen into a deep sleep and was faint; and he diedH4191. 22And behold, as BarakH1301 pursuedH7291 SiseraH5516, JaelH3278 wentH3318 out to meet him, and saidH559 to him, ComeH935, and I will shew thee the manH376 whom thou seekest. And he wentH3318 into her [tentH3489], and behold, SiseraH5516 lay deadH4191, and the pinH3489 was in his templesH7541. 23So 2GodH430 subduedH3665 on that dayH3117 JabinH2985 kingH4428 of CanaanH3667 before the children of IsraelH3478. 24And the handH3027 of the children of IsraelH3478 ever advanced, and prevailed against JabinH2985 kingH4428 of CanaanH3667, until they had cutH3772 off JabinH2985 kingH4428 of CanaanH3667.
