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.
9
And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest
shall not be for thine honour; for the L
ORD
shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah
arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
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.
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.
12
And they shewed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam
was gone up to mount Tabor.
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.
14
And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this
is
the day in which the L
ORD
hath
delivered Sisera into thine hand: is not the L
ORD
gone out before thee? So Barak went down from
mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
15
And the L
ORD
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
23
So God
subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
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.
CHAPTER 5
Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,
2
Praise ye the L
ORD
for the
avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.
3
Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O
ye princes; I,
even
I, will sing unto the L
ORD
; I will sing
praise
to the L
ORD
God of Israel.
4
