Judges 4:1-22

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)_.

4:2

And the LORD
<03068>

sold
<04376> (8799)

them into the hand
<03027>

of Jabin
<02985>

king
<04428>

of Canaan
<03667>_,

that reigned
<04427> (8804)

in Hazor
<02674>_;

the captain
<08269>

of whose host
<06635>

[was] Sisera
<05516>_,

which dwelt
<03427> (8802)

in Harosheth
<02800>

of the Gentiles
<01471>_.

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>_.
