Judges 4:1

4:1

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

again
<03254> (8686)

did
<06213> (8800)

evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

when Ehud
<0164>

was dead
<04191> (8804)_.

Judges 4:3-24

4:3

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

cried
<06817> (8799)

unto the LORD
<03068>_:

for he had nine
<08672>

hundred
<03967>

chariots
<07393>

of iron
<01270>_;

and twenty
<06242>

years
<08141>

he mightily
<02394>

oppressed
<03905> (8804)

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

4:4

And Deborah
<01683>_,

a prophetess
<05031>_,

the wife
<0802>

of Lapidoth
<03941>_,

she judged
<08199> (8802)

Israel
<03478>

at that time
<06256>_.

4:5

And she dwelt
<03427> (8802)

under the palm tree
<08560>

of Deborah
<01683>

between Ramah
<07414>

and Bethel
<01008>

in mount
<02022>

Ephraim
<0669>_:

and the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

came up
<05927> (8799)

to her for judgment
<04941>_.

4:6

And she sent
<07971> (8799)

and called
<07121> (8799)

Barak
<01301>

the son
<01121>

of Abinoam
<042>

out of Kedeshnaphtali
<06943>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Hath not the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

commanded
<06680> (8765)_,

[saying], Go
<03212> (8798)

and draw
<04900> (8804)

toward mount
<02022>

Tabor
<08396>_,

and take
<03947> (8804)

with thee ten
<06235>

thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>

of the children
<01121>

of Naphtali
<05321>

and of the children
<01121>

of Zebulun
<02074>_?

4:7

And I will draw
<04900> (8804)

unto thee to the river
<05158>

Kishon
<07028>

Sisera
<05516>_,

the captain
<08269>

of Jabin's
<02985>

army
<06635>_,

with his chariots
<07393>

and his multitude
<01995>_;

and I will deliver
<05414> (8804)

him into thine hand
<03027>_.

4:8

And Barak
<01301>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, If thou wilt go
<03212> (8799)

with me, then I will go
<01980> (8804)_:

but if thou wilt not go
<03212> (8799)

with me, [then] I will not go
<03212> (8799)_.

4:9

And she said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will surely
<01980> (8800)

go
<03212> (8799)

with thee: notwithstanding
<0657>

the journey
<01870>

that thou takest
<01980> (8802)

shall not be for thine honour
<08597>_;

for the LORD
<03068>

shall sell
<04376> (8799)

Sisera
<05516>

into the hand
<03027>

of a woman
<0802>_.

And Deborah
<01683>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

with Barak
<01301>

to Kedesh
<06943>_.

4:10

And Barak
<01301>

called
<02199> (8686)

Zebulun
<02074>

and Naphtali
<05321>

to Kedesh
<06943>_;

and he went up
<05927> (8799)

with ten
<06235>

thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>

at his feet
<07272>_:

and Deborah
<01683>

went up
<05927> (8799)

with him.

4:11

Now Heber
<02268>

the Kenite
<07017>_,

[which was] of the children
<01121>

of Hobab
<02246>

the father in law
<02859> (8802)

of Moses
<04872>_,

had severed
<06504> (8737)

himself from the Kenites
<07017>_,

and pitched
<05186> (8799)

his tent
<0168>

unto the plain
<0436>

of Zaanaim
<06815>_,

which [is] by Kedesh
<06943>_.

4:12

And they shewed
<05046> (8686)

Sisera
<05516>

that Barak
<01301>

the son
<01121>

of Abinoam
<042>

was gone up
<05927> (8804)

to mount
<02022>

Tabor
<08396>_.

4:13

And Sisera
<05516>

gathered together
<02199> (8686)

all his chariots
<07393>_,

[even] nine
<08672>

hundred
<03967>

chariots
<07393>

of iron
<01270>_,

and all the people
<05971>

that [were] with him, from Harosheth
<02800>

of the Gentiles
<01471>

unto the river
<05158>

of Kishon
<07028>_.

{together: Heb. by cry, or, proclamation}

4:14

And Deborah
<01683>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Barak
<01301>_,

Up
<06965> (8798)_;

for this [is] the day
<03117>

in which the LORD
<03068>

hath delivered
<05414> (8804)

Sisera
<05516>

into thine hand
<03027>_:

is not the LORD
<03068>

gone out
<03318> (8804)

before
<06440>

thee? So Barak
<01301>

went down
<03381> (8799)

from mount
<02022>

Tabor
<08396>_,

and ten
<06235>

thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>

after
<0310>

him.

4:15

And the LORD
<03068>

discomfited
<02000> (8799)

Sisera
<05516>_,

and all [his] chariots
<07393>_,

and all [his] host
<04264>_,

with the edge
<06310>

of the sword
<02719>

before
<06440>

Barak
<01301>_;

so that Sisera
<05516>

lighted down
<03381> (8799)

off [his] chariot
<04818>_,

and fled away
<05127> (8799)

on his feet
<07272>_.

4:16

But Barak
<01301>

pursued
<07291> (8804)

after
<0310>

the chariots
<07393>_,

and after the host
<04264>_,

unto Harosheth
<02800>

of the Gentiles
<01471>_:

and all the host
<04264>

of Sisera
<05516>

fell
<05307> (8799)

upon the edge
<06310>

of the sword
<02719>_;

[and] there was not a man
<0259>

left
<07604> (8738)_.

{a man: Heb. unto one}

4:17

Howbeit Sisera
<05516>

fled away
<05127> (8804)

on his feet
<07272>

to the tent
<0168>

of Jael
<03278>

the wife
<0802>

of Heber
<02268>

the Kenite
<07017>_:

for [there was] peace
<07965>

between Jabin
<02985>

the king
<04428>

of Hazor
<02674>

and the house
<01004>

of Heber
<02268>

the Kenite
<07017>_.

4:18

And Jael
<03278>

went out
<03318> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

Sisera
<05516>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Turn in
<05493> (8798)_,

my lord
<0113>_,

turn in
<05493> (8798)

to me; fear
<03372> (8799)

not. And when he had turned in
<05493> (8799)

unto her into the tent
<0168>_,

she covered
<03680> (8762)

him with a mantle
<08063>_.

{mantle: or, rug, or, blanket}

4:19

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a little
<04592>

water
<04325>

to drink
<08248> (8685)_;

for I am thirsty
<06770> (8804)_.

And she opened
<06605> (8799)

a bottle
<04997>

of milk
<02461>_,

and gave him drink
<08248> (8686)_,

and covered
<03680> (8762)

him.

4:20

Again he said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, Stand in
<05975> (8798)

the door
<06607>

of the tent
<0168>_,

and it shall be, when any man
<0376>

doth come
<0935> (8799)

and enquire
<07592> (8804)

of thee, and say
<0559> (8804)_,

Is there
<03426> (0)

any man
<0376>

here
<03426>_?

that thou shalt say
<0559> (8804)_,

No.

4:21

Then Jael
<03278>

Heber's
<02268>

wife
<0802>

took
<03947> (8799)

a nail
<03489>

of the tent
<0168>_,

and took
<07760> (8799)

an hammer
<04718>

in her hand
<03027>_,

and went
<0935> (8799)

softly
<03814>

unto him, and smote
<08628> (8799)

the nail
<03489>

into his temples
<07541>_,

and fastened
<06795> (8799)

it into the ground
<0776>_:

for he was fast asleep
<07290> (8738)

and weary
<05774> (8799)_.

So he died
<04191> (8799)_.

{and took: Heb. and put}

4:22

And, behold, as Barak
<01301>

pursued
<07291> (8802)

Sisera
<05516>_,

Jael
<03278>

came out
<03318> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

him, and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Come
<03212> (8798)_,

and I will shew
<07200> (8686)

thee the man
<0376>

whom thou seekest
<01245> (8764)_.

And when he came
<0935> (8799)

into her [tent], behold, Sisera
<05516>

lay
<05307> (8802)

dead
<04191> (8801)_,

and the nail
<03489>

[was] in his temples
<07541>_.

4:23

So God
<0430>

subdued
<03665> (8686)

on that day
<03117>

Jabin
<02985>

the king
<04428>

of Canaan
<03667>

before
<06440>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

4:24

And the hand
<03027>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

prospered
<03212> (8799) <01980> (8800)_,

and prevailed
<07186>

against Jabin
<02985>

the king
<04428>

of Canaan
<03667>_,

until they had destroyed
<03772> (8689)

Jabin
<02985>

king
<04428>

of Canaan
<03667>_.

{prospered...: Heb. going went and was hard}

Judges 10:7

10:7

And the anger
<0639>

of the LORD
<03068>

was hot
<02734> (8799)

against Israel
<03478>_,

and he sold
<04376> (8799)

them into the hands
<03027>

of the Philistines
<06430>_,

and into the hands
<03027>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_.

Judges 10:17

10:17

Then the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

were gathered together
<06817> (8735)_,

and encamped
<02583> (8799)

in Gilead
<01568>_.

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

assembled themselves together
<0622> (8735)_,

and encamped
<02583> (8799)

in Mizpeh
<04709>_.

{gathered: Heb. cried}

Judges 11:4-33

11:4

And it came to pass in process of time
<03117>_,

that the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

made war
<03898> (8735)

against Israel
<03478>_.

{in process...: Heb. after days}

11:5

And it was so, that when the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

made war
<03898> (8738)

against Israel
<03478>_,

the elders
<02205>

of Gilead
<01568>

went
<03212> (8799)

to fetch
<03947> (8800)

Jephthah
<03316>

out of the land
<0776>

of Tob
<02897>_:

11:6

And they said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jephthah
<03316>_,

Come
<03212> (8798)_,

and be our captain
<07101>_,

that we may fight
<03898> (8735)

with the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_.

11:7

And Jephthah
<03316>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the elders
<02205>

of Gilead
<01568>_,

Did not ye hate
<08130> (8804)

me, and expel
<01644> (8762)

me out of my father's
<01>

house
<01004>_?

and why are ye come
<0935> (8804)

unto me now when ye are in distress
<06887> (8804)_?

11:8

And the elders
<02205>

of Gilead
<01568>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jephthah
<03316>_,

Therefore we turn again
<07725> (8804)

to thee now, that thou mayest go
<01980> (8804)

with us, and fight
<03898> (8738)

against the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_,

and be our head
<07218>

over all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Gilead
<01568>_.

11:9

And Jephthah
<03316>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the elders
<02205>

of Gilead
<01568>_,

If ye bring me home again
<07725> (8688)

to fight
<03898> (8736)

against the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_,

and the LORD
<03068>

deliver
<05414> (8804)

them before
<06440>

me, shall I be your head
<07218>_?

11:10

And the elders
<02205>

of Gilead
<01568>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jephthah
<03316>_,

The LORD
<03068>

be witness
<08085> (8802)

between us, if we do
<06213> (8799)

not so according to thy words
<01697>_.

{witness...: Heb. the hearer between us}

11:11

Then Jephthah
<03316>

went
<03212> (8799)

with the elders
<02205>

of Gilead
<01568>_,

and the people
<05971>

made
<07760> (8799)

him head
<07218>

and captain
<07101>

over them: and Jephthah
<03316>

uttered
<01696> (8762)

all his words
<01697>

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>

in Mizpeh
<04709>_.

11:12

And Jephthah
<03316>

sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

unto the king
<04428>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come
<0935> (8804)

against me to fight
<03898> (8736)

in my land
<0776>_?

11:13

And the king
<04428>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

answered
<0559> (8799)

unto the messengers
<04397>

of Jephthah
<03316>_,

Because Israel
<03478>

took away
<03947> (8804)

my land
<0776>_,

when they came up
<05927> (8800)

out of Egypt
<04714>_,

from Arnon
<0769>

even unto Jabbok
<02999>_,

and unto Jordan
<03383>_:

now therefore restore those [lands] again
<07725> (8685)

peaceably
<07965>_.

11:14

And Jephthah
<03316>

sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

again
<03254> (8686)

unto the king
<04428>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_:

11:15

And said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

Jephthah
<03316>_,

Israel
<03478>

took not away
<03947> (8804)

the land
<0776>

of Moab
<04124>_,

nor the land
<0776>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_:

11:16

But when Israel
<03478>

came up
<05927> (8800)

from Egypt
<04714>_,

and walked
<03212> (8799)

through the wilderness
<04057>

unto the Red
<05488>

sea
<03220>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Kadesh
<06946>_;

11:17

Then Israel
<03478>

sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

unto the king
<04428>

of Edom
<0123>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Let me, I pray thee, pass through
<05674> (8799)

thy land
<0776>_:

but the king
<04428>

of Edom
<0123>

would not hearken
<08085> (8804)

[thereto]. And in like manner they sent
<07971> (8804)

unto the king
<04428>

of Moab
<04124>_:

but he would
<014> (8804)

not [consent]: and Israel
<03478>

abode
<03427> (8799)

in Kadesh
<06946>_.

11:18

Then they went along
<03212> (8799)

through the wilderness
<04057>_,

and compassed
<05437> (8799)

the land
<0776>

of Edom
<0123>_,

and the land
<0776>

of Moab
<04124>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

by the east side
<04217> <08121>

of the land
<0776>

of Moab
<04124>_,

and pitched
<02583> (8799)

on the other side
<05676>

of Arnon
<0769>_,

but came
<0935> (8804)

not within the border
<01366>

of Moab
<04124>_:

for Arnon
<0769>

[was] the border
<01366>

of Moab
<04124>_.

11:19

And Israel
<03478>

sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

unto Sihon
<05511>

king
<04428>

of the Amorites
<0567>_,

the king
<04428>

of Heshbon
<02809>_;

and Israel
<03478>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Let us pass
<05674> (8799)_,

we pray thee, through thy land
<0776>

into
<05704>

my place
<04725>_.

11:20

But Sihon
<05511>

trusted
<0539> (8689)

not Israel
<03478>

to pass
<05674> (8800)

through his coast
<01366>_:

but Sihon
<05511>

gathered
<0622> (0)

all his people
<05971>

together
<0622> (8799)_,

and pitched
<02583> (8799)

in Jahaz
<03096>_,

and fought
<03898> (8735)

against Israel
<03478>_.

11:21

And the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

delivered
<05414> (8799)

Sihon
<05511>

and all his people
<05971>

into the hand
<03027>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and they smote
<05221> (8686)

them: so Israel
<03478>

possessed
<03423> (8799)

all the land
<0776>

of the Amorites
<0567>_,

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of that country
<0776>_.

11:22

And they possessed
<03423> (8799)

all the coasts
<01366>

of the Amorites
<0567>_,

from Arnon
<0769>

even unto Jabbok
<02999>_,

and from the wilderness
<04057>

even unto Jordan
<03383>_.

11:23

So now the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

hath dispossessed
<03423> (8689)

the Amorites
<0567>

from before
<06440>

his people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_,

and shouldest thou possess
<03423> (8799)

it?

11:24

Wilt not thou possess
<03423> (8799)

that which Chemosh
<03645>

thy god
<0430>

giveth thee to possess
<03423> (8686)_?

So whomsoever the LORD
<03068>

our God
<0430>

shall drive out
<03423> (8689)

from before
<06440>

us, them will we possess
<03423> (8799)_.

11:25

And now [art] thou any thing better
<02896>

than Balak
<01111>

the son
<01121>

of Zippor
<06834>_,

king
<04428>

of Moab
<04124>_?

did he ever
<07378> (8800)

strive
<07378> (8804)

against Israel
<03478>_,

or did he ever
<03898> (8736)

fight
<03898> (8738)

against them,

11:26

While Israel
<03478>

dwelt
<03427> (8800)

in Heshbon
<02809>

and her towns
<01323>_,

and in Aroer
<06177>

and her towns
<01323>_,

and in all the cities
<05892>

that [be] along by the coasts
<03027>

of Arnon
<0769>_,

three
<07969>

hundred
<03967>

years
<08141>_?

why therefore did ye not recover
<05337> (8689)

[them] within that time
<06256>_?

11:27

Wherefore I have not sinned
<02398> (8804)

against thee, but thou doest
<06213> (8802) <0853>

me wrong
<07451>

to war
<03898> (8736)

against me: the LORD
<03068>

the Judge
<08199> (8802)

be judge
<08199> (8799)

this day
<03117>

between the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

and the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_.

11:28

Howbeit the king
<04428>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

hearkened
<08085> (8804)

not unto the words
<01697>

of Jephthah
<03316>

which he sent
<07971> (8804)

him.

11:29

Then the Spirit
<07307>

of the LORD
<03068>

came upon Jephthah
<03316>_,

and he passed over
<05674> (8799)

Gilead
<01568>_,

and Manasseh
<04519>_,

and passed over
<05674> (8799)

Mizpeh
<04708>

of Gilead
<01568>_,

and from Mizpeh
<04708>

of Gilead
<01568>

he passed over
<05674> (8804)

[unto] the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_.

11:30

And Jephthah
<03316>

vowed
<05087> (8799)

a vow
<05088>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

If thou shalt without fail
<05414> (8800)

deliver
<05414> (8799)

the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

into mine hands
<03027>_,

11:31

Then it shall be, that whatsoever
<03318> (8802)

cometh forth
<03318> (8799)

of the doors
<01817>

of my house
<01004>

to meet
<07125> (8800)

me, when I return
<07725> (8800)

in peace
<07965>

from the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_,

shall surely be the LORD'S
<03068>_,

and I will offer it up
<05927> (8689)

for a burnt offering
<05930>_.

{whatsoever...: Heb. that which cometh forth, which shall come forth} {and...: or, or I will offer it, etc}

11:32

So Jephthah
<03316>

passed over
<05674> (8799)

unto the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

to fight
<03898> (8736)

against them; and the LORD
<03068>

delivered
<05414> (8799)

them into his hands
<03027>_.

11:33

And he smote
<05221> (8686)

them from Aroer
<06177>_,

even till thou come
<0935> (8800)

to Minnith
<04511>_,

[even] twenty
<06242>

cities
<05892>_,

and unto the plain
<058>

of the vineyards
<03754> (8677) <064>_,

with a very
<03966>

great
<01419>

slaughter
<04347>_.

Thus the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>

were subdued
<03665> (8735)

before
<06440>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

{the plain: or, Abel}

Judges 11:1

11:1

Now Jephthah
<03316>

the Gileadite
<01569>

was a mighty man
<01368>

of valour
<02428>_,

and he [was] the son
<01121>

of an harlot
<0802> <02181> (8802)_:

and Gilead
<01568>

begat
<03205> (8686)

Jephthah
<03316>_.

{Jephthah: Gr. Jephthae} {an harlot: Heb. a woman an harlot}

Judges 4:1

4:1

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

again
<03254> (8686)

did
<06213> (8800)

evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

when Ehud
<0164>

was dead
<04191> (8804)_.
