Judges 4:2-13

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.
