4:1 And
the
people
of
Israel
again
did
what
was
evil
in
the
sight
of
the
LORD
after
Ehud
died.
4:2 And
the
LORD
sold
them
into
the
hand
of
Jabin
king
of
Canaan,
who
reigned
in
Hazor.
The
commander
of
his
army
was
Sisera,
who
lived
in
Harosheth-hagoyim.
4:3 Then
the
people
of
Israel
cried
out
to
the
LORD
for
help,
for
he
had
900
chariots
of
iron
and
he
oppressed
the
people
of
Israel
cruelly
for
twenty
years.
4:4 Now
Deborah,
a
prophetess,
the
wife
of
Lappidoth,
was
judging
Israel
at
that
time.
4:5 She
used
to
sit
under
the
palm
of
Deborah
between
Ramah
and
Bethel
in
the
hill
country
of
Ephraim,
and
the
people
of
Israel
came
up
to
her
for
judgment.
4:6 She
sent
and
summoned
Barak
the
son
of
Abinoam
from
Kedesh-naphtali
and
said
to
him,
"Has
not
the
LORD,
the
God
of
Israel,
commanded
you,
'Go,
gather
your
men
at
Mount
Tabor,
taking
10,000
from
the
people
of
Naphtali
and
the
people
of
Zebulun.
4:7 And
I
will
draw
out
Sisera,
the
general
of
Jabin's
army,
to
meet
you
by
the
river
Kishon
with
his
chariots
and
his
troops,
and
I
will
give
him
into
your
hand'"
4:8 Barak
said
to
her,
"If
you
will
go
with
me,
I
will
go,
but
if
you
will
not
go
with
me,
I
will
not
go."
4:9 And
she
said,
"I
will
surely
go
with
you.
Nevertheless,
the
road
on
which
you
are
going
will
not
lead
to
your
glory,
for
the
LORD
will
sell
Sisera
into
the
hand
of
a
woman."
Then
Deborah
arose
and
went
with
Barak
to
Kedesh.
4:10 And
Barak
called
out
Zebulun
and
Naphtali
to
Kedesh.
And
10,000
men
went
up
at
his
heels,
and
Deborah
went
up
with
him.
4:11 Now
Heber
the
Kenite
had
separated
from
the
Kenites,
the
descendants
of
Hobab
the
father-in-law
of
Moses,
and
had
pitched
his
tent
as
far
away
as
the
oak
in
Zaanannim,
which
is
near
Kedesh.
4:12 When
Sisera
was
told
that
Barak
the
son
of
Abinoam
had
gone
up
to
Mount
Tabor,
4:13 Sisera
called
out
all
his
chariots,
900
chariots
of
iron,
and
all
the
men
who
were
with
him,
from
Harosheth-hagoyim
to
the
river
Kishon.
4:14 And
Deborah
said
to
Barak,
"Up!
For
this
is
the
day
in
which
the
LORD
has
given
Sisera
into
your
hand.
Does
not
the
LORD
go
out
before
you"
So
Barak
went
down
from
Mount
Tabor
with
10,000
men
following
him.
4:15 And
the
LORD
routed
Sisera
and
all
his
chariots
and
all
his
army
before
Barak
by
the
edge
of
the
sword.
And
Sisera
got
down
from
his
chariot
and
fled
away
on
foot.
4:16 And
Barak
pursued
the
chariots
and
the
army
to
Harosheth-hagoyim,
and
all
the
army
of
Sisera
fell
by
the
edge
of
the
sword;
not
a
man
was
left.
4:17 But
Sisera
fled
away
on
foot
to
the
tent
of
Jael,
the
wife
of
Heber
the
Kenite,
for
there
was
peace
between
Jabin
the
king
of
Hazor
and
the
house
of
Heber
the
Kenite.
4:18 And
Jael
came
out
to
meet
Sisera
and
said
to
him,
"Turn
aside,
my
lord;
turn
aside
to
me;
do
not
be
afraid."
So
he
turned
aside
to
her
into
the
tent,
and
she
covered
him
with
a
rug.
4:19 And
he
said
to
her,
"Please
give
me
a
little
water
to
drink,
for
I
am
thirsty."
So
she
opened
a
skin
of
milk
and
gave
him
a
drink
and
covered
him.
4:20 And
he
said
to
her,
"Stand
at
the
opening
of
the
tent,
and
if
any
man
comes
and
asks
you,
'Is
anyone
here'
say,
'No.'"
4:21 But
Jael
the
wife
of
Heber
took
a
tent
peg,
and
took
a
hammer
in
her
hand.
Then
she
went
softly
to
him
and
drove
the
peg
into
his
temple
until
it
went
down
into
the
ground
while
he
was
lying
fast
asleep
from
weariness.
So
he
died.
4:22 And
behold,
as
Barak
was
pursuing
Sisera,
Jael
went
out
to
meet
him
and
said
to
him,
"Come,
and
I
will
show
you
the
man
whom
you
are
seeking."
So
he
went
in
to
her
tent,
and
there
lay
Sisera
dead,
with
the
tent
peg
in
his
temple.
4:23 So
on
that
day
God
subdued
Jabin
the
king
of
Canaan
before
the
people
of
Israel.
4:24 And
the
hand
of
the
people
of
Israel
pressed
harder
and
harder
against
Jabin
the
king
of
Canaan,
until
they
destroyed
Jabin
king
of
Canaan.
