Judges 4:5-14
5And she dweltH3427 under the palm treeH8560 of DeborahH1683 between RamahH7414 and Beth–elH1008 in mountH2022 EphraimH669: and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 came upH5927 to her for judgmentH4941. 6And she sentH7971 and calledH7121 BarakH1301 the sonH1121 of AbinoamH42 out of Kedesh–naphtaliH6943, and saidH559 unto him, Hath not YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 commandedH6680, saying, GoH3212 and drawH4900 toward mountH2022 TaborH8396, and takeH3947 with thee tenH6235 thousandH505 menH376 of the childrenH1121 of NaphtaliH5321 and of the childrenH1121 of ZebulunH2074? 7And I will drawH4900 unto thee to the riverH5158 KishonH7028 SiseraH5516, the captainH8269 of Jabin’sH2985 armyH6635, with his chariotsH7393 and his multitudeH1995; and I will deliverH5414 him into thine handH3027. 8And BarakH1301 saidH559 unto her, If thou wilt goH3212 with me, then I will goH1980: but if thou wilt not goH3212 with me, then I will not goH3212. 9And she saidH559, I will surelyH1980 goH3212 with thee: notwithstandingH657 the journeyH1870 that thou takestH1980 shall not be for thine honourH8597; for YhwhH3068 shall sellH4376 SiseraH5516 into the handH3027 of a womanH802. And DeborahH1683 aroseH6965, and wentH3212 with BarakH1301 to KedeshH6943.
10And BarakH1301 calledH2199 ZebulunH2074 and NaphtaliH5321 to KedeshH6943; and he went upH5927 with tenH6235 thousandH505 menH376 at his feetH7272: and DeborahH1683 went upH5927 with him. 11Now HeberH2268 the KeniteH7017, which was of the childrenH1121 of HobabH2246 the father in lawH2859 of MosesH4872, had severedH6504 himself from the KenitesH7017, and pitchedH5186 his tentH168 unto the plainH436 of ZaanaimH6815, which is by KedeshH6943. 12And they shewedH5046 SiseraH5516 that BarakH1301 the sonH1121 of AbinoamH42 was gone upH5927 to mountH2022 TaborH8396. 13And SiseraH5516 gathered togetherH2199 all his chariotsH7393, even nineH8672 hundredH3967 chariotsH7393 of ironH1270, and all the peopleH5971 that were with him, from HaroshethH2800 of the GentilesH1471 unto the riverH5158 of KishonH7028.1 14And DeborahH1683 saidH559 unto BarakH1301, UpH6965; for this is the dayH3117 in which YhwhH3068 hath deliveredH5414 SiseraH5516 into thine handH3027: is not YhwhH3068 gone outH3318 beforeH6440 thee? So BarakH1301 went downH3381 from mountH2022 TaborH8396, and tenH6235 thousandH505 menH376 afterH310 him.
