Judges 5:22-31
221ThenH227 the horses’H5483 hoofsH6119 beatH1986 From the dashingH1726, the dashingH1726 of his 2valiantH47 steedsH47.23‘CurseH779 MerozH4789,’ saidH559 the angelH4397 of the LordH3068, ‘UtterlyH779 curseH779 its inhabitantsH3427; 3BecauseH3588 they did not comeH935 to the helpH5833 of the LordH3068, To the helpH5833 of the LordH3068 against the warriorsH1368.’
24“4Most blessedH1288 of womenH802 is JaelH3278, The wifeH802 of HeberH2268 the KeniteH7017; Most blessedH1288 is she of womenH802 in the tentH168.25He askedH7592 for waterH4325 and she gaveH5414 him milkH2461; In a magnificentH117 bowlH5602 she broughtH7126 him curdsH2529.26She reachedH7971 out her handH3027 for the tentH3489 pegH3489, And her rightH3225 handH3225 for the workmen’sH6001 hammerH1989. Then she struckH1986 SiseraH5516, she smashedH4277 his headH7218; And she shatteredH4272 and piercedH2498 his templeH7541.27BetweenH996 her feetH7272 he bowedH3766, he fellH5307, he layH7901; BetweenH996 her feetH7272 he bowedH3766, he fellH5307; WhereH834 he bowedH3766, thereH8033 he fellH5307 5deadH7703.
28“Out of the windowH2474 she lookedH8259 and lamentedH2980, The motherH517 of SiseraH5516 throughH1157 the 6latticeH822, ‘WhyH4069 does his chariotH7393 delayH309 in comingH935? WhyH4069 do the 7hoofbeatsH6471 of his chariotsH4818 tarryH309?’29Her wiseH2450 princessesH8282 would answerH6030 her, IndeedH637 she repeatsH7725 her wordsH561 to herself,30‘8Are they not findingH4672, are they not dividingH2505 the spoilH7998? A maidenH7358, two maidensH7358 for everyH7218 warriorH1397; To SiseraH5516 a spoilH7998 of dyedH6648 workH6648, A spoilH7998 of dyedH6648 workH6648 embroideredH7553, DyedH6648 workH6648 of double embroideryH7553 on the 9neckH6677 of the spoilerH7998?’3110ThusH3651 let allH3605 Your enemiesH340 perishH6, O LordH3068; 11But let those who loveH157 Him be like the risingH3318 of the sunH8121 in its mightH1369.” And the landH776 was undisturbedH8252 for fortyH705 yearsH8141.
