Judges 4 1 And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord , when Ehud was dead . Copy 2 And the Lord sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan , that reigned in Hazor ; the captain of whose host was Sisera , which dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles . Copy 3 And the children of Israel cried unto the Lord : for he had nine hundred chariots of iron ; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel . Copy 4 And Deborah , a prophetess , the wife of Lapidoth , she judged Israel at that time . Copy 5 And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Beth–el in mount Ephraim : and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment . Copy 6 And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh–naphtali , and said unto him, Hath not the Lord God of Israel commanded , saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor , and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun ? Copy 7 And I will draw unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera , the captain of Jabin’s army , with his chariots and his multitude ; and I will deliver him into thine hand . Copy 8 And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go : but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go . Copy 9 And she said , I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honour ; for the Lord shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman . And Deborah arose , and went with Barak to Kedesh . Copy 10 And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh ; and he went up with ten thousand men at his feet : and Deborah went up with him. Copy 11 Now Heber the Kenite , which was of the children of Hobab the father in law of Moses , had severed himself from the Kenites , and pitched his tent unto the plain of Zaanaim , which is by Kedesh . Copy 12 And they shewed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to mount Tabor . Copy 13 And Sisera gathered together all his chariots , even nine hundred chariots of iron , and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles unto the river of Kishon . Copy 14 And Deborah said unto Barak , Up ; for this is the day in which the Lord hath delivered Sisera into thine hand : is not the Lord gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor , and ten thousand men after him. Copy 15 And the Lord discomfited Sisera , and all his chariots , and all his host , with the edge of the sword before Barak ; so that Sisera lighted down off his chariot , and fled away on his feet . Copy 16 But Barak pursued after the chariots , and after the host , unto Harosheth of the Gentiles : and all the host of Sisera fell upon the edge of the sword ; and there was not a man left . Copy 17 Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feet 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 . Copy 18 And Jael went out to meet Sisera , and said unto him, Turn in , my lord , turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in unto her into the tent , she covered him with a mantle . Copy 19 And he said unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink ; for I am thirsty . And she opened a bottle of milk , and gave him drink , and covered him. Copy 20 Again he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent , and it shall be, when any man doth come and enquire of thee, and say , Is there any man here ? that thou shalt say , No. Copy 21 Then Jael Heber’s wife took a nail of the tent , and took an hammer in her hand , and went softly unto him, and smote the nail into his temples , and fastened it into the ground : for he was fast asleep and weary . So he died . Copy 22 And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera , Jael came out to meet him, and said unto him, Come , and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest . And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead , and the nail was in his temples . Copy 23 So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel . Copy 24 And the hand of the children of Israel prospered , and prevailed against Jabin the king of Canaan , until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan . Copy
