Judges 4
Revised Version 1895
1And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 againH3254 didH6213 that whichH5869 was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068, when EhudH164 was deadH4191. 2And the LORDH3068 soldH4376 them intoH3027 the handH3027 of JabinH2985 kingH4428 of CanaanH3667, that reignedH4427 in HazorH2674; the captainH8269 of whoseH834 hostH6635 was SiseraH5516, whichH834 dweltH3427 in Harosheth of the GentilesH1471. 3And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 criedH6817 unto the LORDH3068: for he had nineH8672 hundredH3967 chariotsH7393 of ironH1270; and twentyH6242 yearsH8141 he mightily oppressedH3905 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. 4NowH6256 DeborahH1683, a prophetessH5031, the wifeH802 of LappidothH3941, sheH1931 judgedH8199 IsraelH3478 at that time. 5And sheH1931 dweltH3427 underH8478 the palmH8560 treeH8560 of DeborahH1683 betweenH996 RamahH7414 and Beth-el in the hillH2022 countryH2022 of EphraimH669: and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 cameH5927 upH5927 to herH413 for judgmentH4941. 6And sheH7121 sentH7971 and calledH7121 BarakH1301 the sonH1121 of AbinoamH42 outH7971 of Kedesh-naphtali, and saidH559 unto him, Hath notH3808 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, commandedH6680, sayingH559, GoH7971 and drawH4900 unto 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 intoH413 thine handH3027. 8And BarakH1301 saidH559 unto herH413, IfH518 thou wilt goH1980 with meH413, then I will goH1980: but ifH518 thou wilt notH3808 goH1980 with meH413, I will notH3808 goH1980. 9And sheH834 saidH559, I will surelyH3588 goH1980 with thee: notwithstanding the journeyH1870 that thou takest shall notH3808 be for thine honour; for the LORDH3068 shall sellH4376 SiseraH5516 intoH1980 the handH3027 of a womanH802. And DeborahH1683 aroseH6965, and wentH1980 with BarakH1301 to KedeshH6943. 10And BarakH1301 calledH2199 ZebulunH2074 and NaphtaliH5321 togetherH2199 to KedeshH6943; and there wentH5927 upH5927 tenH6235 thousandH505 menH376 at his feetH7272: and DeborahH1683 wentH5927 upH5927 with him. 11Now HeberH2268 the KeniteH7017 had severed himselfH6504 from the KenitesH7017, evenH5704 from the childrenH1121 of HobabH2246 the brother in law of MosesH4872, and had pitchedH5186 his tentH168 as farH5704 as the oakH436 in ZaanannimH6815, whichH834 is by KedeshH6943. 12And they toldH5046 SiseraH5516 that BarakH1301 the sonH1121 of AbinoamH42 was goneH5927 upH5927 to mountH2022 TaborH8396. 13And SiseraH5516 gathered togetherH2199 allH3605 his chariotsH7393, evenH853 nineH8672 hundredH3967 chariotsH7393 of ironH1270, and allH3605 the peopleH5971 that were with him, from Harosheth of the GentilesH1471, unto the riverH5158 KishonH7028. 14And DeborahH1683 saidH559 unto BarakH1301, UpH6965; for this is the dayH3117 in whichH834 the LORDH3068 hath deliveredH5414 SiseraH5516 intoH413 thine handH3027: is notH3808 the LORDH3068 goneH3318 outH3318 beforeH6440 thee? SoH5414 BarakH1301 wentH3318 downH3381 from mountH2022 TaborH8396, and tenH6235 thousandH505 menH376 afterH310 him. 15And the LORDH3068 discomfited SiseraH5516, and allH3605 his chariotsH7393, and allH3605 his hostH4264, with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719 beforeH6440 BarakH1301; and SiseraH5516 lighted downH3381 from his chariotH4818, and fledH5127 awayH5127 on his feetH7272. 16But BarakH1301 pursuedH7291 afterH310 the chariotsH7393, and afterH310 the hostH4264, unto Harosheth of the GentilesH1471: and allH3605 the hostH4264 of SiseraH5516 fellH5307 by the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719; there was notH3808 a manH3605 leftH7604. 17Howbeit SiseraH5516 fledH5127 awayH5127 on his feetH7272 to the tentH168 of JaelH3278 the wifeH802 of HeberH2268 the KeniteH7017: for there was peaceH7965 betweenH996 JabinH2985 the kingH4428 of HazorH2674 and the houseH1004 of HeberH2268 the KeniteH7017. 18And JaelH3278 wentH3318 outH3318 to meetH7125 SiseraH5516, and saidH559 unto him, TurnH5493 in, my lordH113, turnH5493 in to meH413; fearH3372 notH408. And he turnedH5493 in unto herH413 intoH413 the tentH168, and she coveredH3680 him with a rugH8063. 19And he saidH559 unto herH413, GiveH8248 meH413, I prayH4994 thee, a littleH4592 waterH4325 to drinkH8248; for I am thirstyH6770. And sheH3588 openedH6605 a bottleH4997 of milkH2461, and gaveH559 him drinkH8248, and coveredH3680 him. 20And he saidH559 unto herH413, StandH5975 in the doorH6607 of the tentH168, and it shall be, when anyH376 manH376 doth comeH935 and inquireH7592 of thee, and sayH559, Is there anyH376 manH376 hereH6311? that thou shalt sayH559, NoH369. 21Then JaelH3278 Heber’sH2268 wifeH802 tookH3947 a tent-pin, and tookH3947 an hammer in herH413 handH3027, and wentH935 softly unto him, and smote the pinH3489 intoH413 his templesH7541, and it pierced throughH3027 intoH413 the groundH776; for he was in a deep sleep; soH3947 he swooned and diedH4191. 22And, beholdH2009, as BarakH1301 pursuedH7291 SiseraH5516, JaelH3278 cameH935 outH3318 to meetH7125 him, and saidH559 unto him, ComeH935, and I will shew thee the manH376 whomH834 thou seekest. And he cameH935 unto herH413; and, beholdH2009, SiseraH5516 layH5307 deadH4191, and the tent-pin was in his templesH7541. 23SoH6440 GodH430 subduedH3665 on that dayH3117 JabinH2985 the kingH4428 of CanaanH3667 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. 24And the handH3027 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 prevailed moreH5921 and moreH5921 againstH5921 JabinH2985 the kingH4428 of CanaanH3667, untilH5704 they had destroyedH3772 JabinH2985 kingH4428 of CanaanH3667.
