After Ehud
died,
the Israelites
again
did
evil
in the sight
of the LORD.
And the children
of Israel
again
did
evil
in the sight
of the LORD,
when Ehud

So the LORD
sold them
into the hand
of Jabin
king
of Canaan,
who
reigned
in Hazor.
The commander
of his forces
was Sisera,
who
lived
in Harosheth-hagoyim.
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.

Then the Israelites
cried out
to
the LORD,
because
Jabin had
nine
hundred
chariots
of iron,
and he
had harshly
oppressed
the Israelites
for twenty
years.
And the children

cried

for he had nine

he mightily
oppressed

She summoned
Barak
son
of Abinoam
from Kedesh
in Naphtali

to him,
“Surely
the LORD,
the God

‘Go

And she sent

Barak

[saying], Go

Barak

“I will certainly go

Deborah replied,
“but
the road

are taking
will bring you
no
honor,
because
the LORD
will be selling
Sisera
into the hand

So Deborah
got up

Barak
to Kedesh,
And she said,
I will surely
go
with thee: notwithstanding
the journey

shall not be for thine honour;
for the LORD

And Deborah

Now Heber

the descendants

Now Heber

unto the plain
of Zaanaim,

When Sisera

he
summoned

to
the River
Kishon.
And Sisera
gathered together

Then Deborah
said
to
Barak,
“Arise,
for
this
is the day
that
the LORD
has delivered
Sisera
into your hand.
Has not
the LORD
gone
before you?”
So Barak
came down
from Mount
Tabor
with ten
thousand
men
following him.
And Deborah
said
unto Barak,
Up;
for this [is] the day
in which the LORD
hath delivered
Sisera

is not the LORD

thee? So Barak
went down
from mount
Tabor,

And in front of
him
the LORD
routed

Sisera,
all

Sisera
abandoned
his chariot
and fled
on foot.
And the LORD
discomfited
Sisera,
and all [his] chariots,

with the edge

so that Sisera

Then Barak
pursued

as far as
Harosheth-hagoyim,
and the whole
army
of Sisera
fell
by the sword;
not
a single
man was left.
But Barak
pursued

unto Harosheth

Meanwhile, Sisera
had fled
on foot
to
the tent
of Jael,
the wife
of Heber
the Kenite,
because
there was peace
between
Jabin
king
of Hazor
and
the house
of Heber
the Kenite.
Howbeit Sisera
fled away
on his feet
to the tent
of Jael
the wife
of Heber
the Kenite:
for [there was] peace

Jael
went out to greet
Sisera
and said
to him,
“Come in,
my lord.
Come in
with me.
Do not
be afraid.”
So he entered
her tent,
and she covered him
with a blanket.
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

So she opened

And he said

And she opened

But as he

grabbed

silently

She drove

into the ground,

Then Jael
Heber's

And, behold, as Barak
