Bible Version
Book
Chapter
1
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 againH3254 didH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORD,H3068 when EhudH261 was dead.H4191
2
And the LORDH3068 soldH4376 them into the handH3027 of JabinH2985 kingH4428 of Canaan,H3667 that reignedH4427 in Hazor;H2674 the captainH8269 of whose hostH6635 was Sisera,H5516 which dwelledH3427 in HaroshethH2800 of the Gentiles.H1471
3
And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 criedH6817 to the LORD:H3068 for he had nineH8672 hundredH3967 chariotsH7393 of iron;H1270 and twentyH6242 yearsH8141 he mightilyH2393 oppressedH3905 the childrenH1121 of Israel.H3478
4
And Deborah,H1683 a prophetess,H5031 the wifeH802 of Lapidoth,H3941 she judgedH8199 IsraelH3478 at that time.H6256
5
And she dwelledH3427 underH8478 the palmH8560 tree of DeborahH1683 betweenH996 RamahH7414 and BethelH1008 in mountH2022 Ephraim:H669 and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 cameH5927 up to her for judgment.H4941
6
And she sentH7971 and calledH7121 BarakH1301 the sonH1121 of AbinoamH42 out of Kedeshnaphtali,H6943 H5321 and saidH559 to him, Has not the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 commanded,H6680 saying, GoH3212 and drawH4900 toward mountH2022 Tabor,H8396 and takeH3947 with you tenH6235 thousandH505 menH376 of the childrenH1121 of NaphtaliH5321 and of the childrenH1121 of Zebulun?H2074
7
And I will drawH4900 to you to the riverH5158 KishonH7028 Sisera,H5516 the captainH8269 of Jabin'sH2985 army,H6635 with his chariotsH7393 and his multitude;H1995 and I will deliverH5414 him into your hand.H3027
8
And BarakH1301 saidH559 to her, IfH518 you will goH3212 with me, then I will go:H1980 but ifH518 you will not goH3212 with me, then I will not go.H3212
9
And she said,H559 I will surely goH3212 with you: notwithstandingH657 the journeyH1870 that you takeH1980 shall not be for your honor;H8597 for the LORDH3068 shall sellH4376 SiseraH5516 into the handH3027 of a woman.H802 And DeborahH1683 arose,H6965 and wentH3212 with BarakH1301 to Kedesh.H6943
10
And BarakH1301 calledH2199 ZebulunH2074 and NaphtaliH5321 to Kedesh;H6943 and he wentH5927 up with tenH6235 thousandH505 menH376 at his feet:H7272 and DeborahH1683 wentH5927 up with him.
11
Now HeberH2268 the Kenite,H7014 which was of the childrenH1121 of HobabH2246 the fatherH2859 in lawH2859 of Moses,H4872 had severedH6504 himself from the Kenites,H7017 and pitchedH5186 his tentH168 to the plainH436 of Zaanaim,H6815 whichH834 is by Kedesh.H6943
12
And they showedH5046 SiseraH5516 that BarakH1301 the sonH1121 of AbinoamH42 was goneH5927 up to mountH2022 Tabor.H8396
13
And SiseraH5516 gatheredH2199 together allH3605 his chariots,H7393 even nineH8672 hundredH3967 chariotsH7393 of iron,H1270 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 that were with him, from HaroshethH2800 of the GentilesH1471 to the riverH5158 of Kishon.H7028
14
And DeborahH1683 saidH559 to Barak,H1301 Up; for thisH2088 is the dayH3117 in whichH834 the LORDH3068 has deliveredH5414 SiseraH5516 into your hand:H3027 is not the LORDH3068 goneH3318 out beforeH6440 you? So BarakH1301 wentH3381 downH3381 from mountH2022 Tabor,H8396 and tenH6235 thousandH505 menH376 afterH310 him.
15
And the LORDH3068 discomfitedH2000 Sisera,H5516 and allH3605 his chariots,H7393 and allH3605 his host,H4264 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719 beforeH6440 Barak;H1301 so that SiseraH5516 lightedH3381 downH3381 offH5921 his chariot,H4818 and fledH5127 away on his feet.H7272
16
But BarakH1301 pursuedH7291 afterH310 the chariots,H7393 and afterH310 the host,H4264 to HaroshethH2800 of the Gentiles:H1471 and allH3605 the hostH4264 of SiseraH5516 fellH5307 on the edgeH6310 of the sword;H2719 and there was not a man left.H7604
17
However, SiseraH5516 fledH5127 away on his feetH7272 to the tentH168 of JaelH3278 the wifeH802 of HeberH2268 the Kenite:H7017 for there was peaceH7965 betweenH996 JabinH2985 the kingH4428 of HazorH2674 and the houseH1004 of HeberH2268 the Kenite.H7017
18
And JaelH3278 wentH3318 out to meetH7125 Sisera,H5516 and saidH559 to him, TurnH5493 in, my lord,H113 turnH5493 in to me; fearH3372 not. And when he had turnedH5493 in to her into the tent,H168 she coveredH3680 him with a mantle.H8063
19
And he saidH559 to her, Give me, I prayH4994 you, a littleH4592 waterH4325 to drink;H8248 for I am thirsty.H6770 And she openedH6605 a bottleH4997 of milk,H2461 and gave him drink,H8248 and coveredH3680 him.
20
Again he saidH559 to her, StandH5975 in the doorH6607 of the tent,H168 and it shall be, whenH518 any manH376 does comeH935 and inquireH7592 of you, and say,H559 Is there any manH376 here?H6311 that you shall say,H559 No.H369
21
Then JaelH3278 Heber'sH2268 wifeH802 tookH3947 a nailH3489 of the tent,H168 and tookH7760 an hammerH4718 in her hand,H3027 and wentH935 softlyH3814 to him, and smoteH8628 the nailH3489 into his temples,H7541 and fastenedH6795 it into the ground:H776 for he was fast asleepH7290 and weary.H5774 So he died.H4191
22
And, behold,H2009 as BarakH1301 pursuedH7291 Sisera,H5516 JaelH3278 cameH3318 out to meetH7125 him, and saidH559 to him, Come,H3212 and I will showH7200 you the manH376 whomH834 you seek.H1245 And when he cameH935 into her tent, behold,H2009 SiseraH5516 layH5307 dead,H4191 and the nailH3489 was in his temples.H7541
23
So GodH430 subduedH3665 on that dayH3117 JabinH2985 the kingH4428 of CanaanH3667 beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of Israel.H3478
24
And the handH3027 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 prospered,H1980 and prevailedH7186 againstH5921 JabinH2985 the kingH4428 of Canaan,H3667 untilH5704 they had destroyedH3772 JabinH2985 kingH4428 of Canaan.H3667
