Judges 4:6-16
6Now she sentH7971 word and summonedH7121 1BarakH1301 the sonH1121 of AbinoamH42 from Kedesh-naphtaliH6943H5321, and saidH559 to him, “2The LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, has indeed commandedH6680, ‘GoH1980 and marchH4900 to MountH2022 TaborH8396, and takeH3947 with you tenH6235 thousandH505 menH376 from the sonsH1121 of NaphtaliH5321 and from the sonsH1121 of ZebulunH2074. 7I will drawH4900 outH4900 to you SiseraH5516, the commanderH8269 of Jabin’sH2985 armyH6635, with his chariotsH7393 and his 3manyH1995 troops to the riverH5158 KishonH7028, and 4I will handH5414H3027 him overH5414 to you.’” 8Then BarakH1301 saidH559 to her, “IfH518 you will goH1980 with me, then I will goH1980; but ifH518 you will not goH1980 with me, I will not goH1980.” 9She saidH559, “I will certainlyH1980 goH1980 with you; howeverH657H3588, the fameH8597 shall not be yours on the journeyH1870 that you are about to takeH1980, 5for the LordH3068 will sellH4376 SiseraH5516 into the handH3027 of a womanH802.” Then DeborahH1683 gotH6965 upH6965 and wentH1980 with BarakH1301 to KedeshH6943. 10BarakH1301 summonedH2199 6ZebulunH2074 and NaphtaliH5321 to KedeshH6943, and tenH6235 thousandH505 menH376 wentH5927 upH5927 78with him; DeborahH1683 also wentH5927 upH5927 with him.
11Now HeberH2268 9the KeniteH7017 had separatedH6504 himself from the KenitesH7014, from the sonsH1121 of HobabH2246 the 10father-in-lawH2860 of MosesH4872, and had pitchedH5186 his tentH168 as farH5704 away as the 11oakH436 in 12ZaanannimH6815, whichH834 is nearH854 KedeshH6943.
12Then they toldH5046 SiseraH5516 that BarakH1301 the sonH1121 of AbinoamH42 had goneH5927 upH5927 to MountH2022 TaborH8396. 13SiseraH5516 summonedH2199 allH3605 his chariotsH7393, 13nineH8672 hundredH3967 ironH1270 chariotsH7393, and allH3605 the peopleH5971 whoH834 were with him, from 14Harosheth-hagoyimH2800H1471 to the riverH5158 KishonH7028. 14Then DeborahH1683 saidH559 to BarakH1301, “AriseH6965! For thisH2088 is the dayH3117 on whichH834 the LordH3068 has handedH5414H3027 SiseraH5516 overH5414 to you; 15beholdH3808, 16the LordH3068 has goneH3318 outH3318 beforeH6440 you.” So BarakH1301 wentH3381 downH3381 from MountH2022 TaborH8396 with tenH6235 thousandH505 menH376 followingH310 him. 1517And the LordH3068 18routedH2000 SiseraH5516 and allH3605 his chariotsH7393 and allH3605 his armyH4264 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719 beforeH6440 BarakH1301; and SiseraH5516 gotH3381 downH3381 from his chariotH4818 and fledH5127 on footH7272. 16But BarakH1301 pursuedH7291H310 the chariotsH7393 and the armyH4264 as farH5704 as Harosheth-hagoyimH2800H1471, and allH3605 the armyH4264 of SiseraH5516 fellH5307 by the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719; 19not evenH5704 oneH259 was leftH7604.
