Judges 4:1-24

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>_.

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 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 1:1-36

1:1

Now after
<0310>

the death
<04194>

of Joshua
<03091>

it came to pass, that the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

asked
<07592> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Who shall go up
<05927> (8799)

for us against the Canaanites
<03669>

first
<08462>_,

to fight
<03898> (8736)

against them?

1:2

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Judah
<03063>

shall go up
<05927> (8799)_:

behold, I have delivered
<05414> (8804)

the land
<0776>

into his hand
<03027>_.

1:3

And Judah
<03063>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Simeon
<08095>

his brother
<0251>_,

Come up
<05927> (8798)

with me into my lot
<01486>_,

that we may fight
<03898> (8735)

against the Canaanites
<03669>_;

and I likewise will go
<01980> (8804)

with thee into thy lot
<01486>_.

So Simeon
<08095>

went
<03212> (8799)

with him.

1:4

And Judah
<03063>

went up
<05927> (8799)_;

and the LORD
<03068>

delivered
<05414> (8799)

the Canaanites
<03669>

and the Perizzites
<06522>

into their hand
<03027>_:

and they slew
<05221> (8686)

of them in Bezek
<0966>

ten
<06235>

thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>_.

1:5

And they found
<04672> (8799)

Adonibezek
<0137>

in Bezek
<0966>_:

and they fought
<03898> (8735)

against him, and they slew
<05221> (8686)

the Canaanites
<03669>

and the Perizzites
<06522>_.

1:6

But Adonibezek
<0137>

fled
<05127> (8799)_;

and they pursued
<07291> (8799)

after
<0310>

him, and caught
<0270> (8799)

him, and cut off
<07112> (8762)

his thumbs
<0931> <03027>

and his great toes
<07272>_.

1:7

And Adonibezek
<0137>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Threescore and ten
<07657>

kings
<04428>_,

having their thumbs
<0931> <03027>

and their great toes
<07272>

cut off
<07112> (8794)_,

gathered
<03950> (8764)

[their meat] under my table
<07979>_:

as I have done
<06213> (8804)_,

so God
<0430>

hath requited
<07999> (8765)

me. And they brought
<0935> (8686)

him to Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and there he died
<04191> (8799)_.

{their thumbs...: Heb. the thumbs of their hands and of their feet} {gathered: or, gleaned}

1:8

Now the children
<01121>

of Judah
<03063>

had fought
<03898> (8735)

against Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and had taken
<03920> (8799)

it, and smitten
<05221> (8686)

it with the edge
<06310>

of the sword
<02719>_,

and set
<07971> (8765)

the city
<05892>

on fire
<0784>_.

1:9

And afterward
<0310>

the children
<01121>

of Judah
<03063>

went down
<03381> (8804)

to fight
<03898> (8736)

against the Canaanites
<03669>_,

that dwelt
<03427> (8802)

in the mountain
<02022>_,

and in the south
<05045>_,

and in the valley
<08219>_.

{valley: or, low country}

1:10

And Judah
<03063>

went
<03212> (8799)

against the Canaanites
<03669>

that dwelt
<03427> (8802)

in Hebron
<02275>_:

(now the name
<08034>

of Hebron
<02275>

before
<06440>

[was] Kirjatharba
<07153>:)

and they slew
<05221> (8686)

Sheshai
<08344>_,

and Ahiman
<0289>_,

and Talmai
<08526>_.

1:11

And from thence he went
<03212> (8799)

against the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Debir
<01688>_:

and the name
<08034>

of Debir
<01688>

before
<06440>

[was] Kirjathsepher
<07158>_:

1:12

And Caleb
<03612>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

He that smiteth
<05221> (8686)

Kirjathsepher
<07158>_,

and taketh
<03920> (8804)

it, to him will I give
<05414> (8804)

Achsah
<05915>

my daughter
<01323>

to wife
<0802>_.

1:13

And Othniel
<06274>

the son
<01121>

of Kenaz
<07073>_,

Caleb's
<03612>

younger
<06996>

brother
<0251>_,

took
<03920> (8799)

it: and he gave
<05414> (8799)

him Achsah
<05915>

his daughter
<01323>

to wife
<0802>_.

1:14

And it came to pass, when she came
<0935> (8800)

[to him], that she moved
<05496> (8686)

him to ask
<07592> (8800)

of her father
<01>

a field
<07704>_:

and she lighted
<06795> (8799)

from off [her] ass
<02543>_;

and Caleb
<03612>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, What wilt thou?

1:15

And she said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Give
<03051> (8798)

me a blessing
<01293>_:

for thou hast given
<05414> (8804)

me a south
<05045>

land
<0776>_;

give
<05414> (8804)

me also springs
<01543>

of water
<04325>_.

And Caleb
<03612>

gave
<05414> (8799)

her the upper
<05942>

springs
<01543>

and the nether
<08482>

springs
<01543>_.

1:16

And the children
<01121>

of the Kenite
<07017>_,

Moses
<04872>_'

father in law
<02859> (8802)_,

went up
<05927> (8804)

out of the city
<05892>

of palm trees
<08558> (8677) <05899>

with the children
<01121>

of Judah
<03063>

into the wilderness
<04057>

of Judah
<03063>_,

which [lieth] in the south
<05045>

of Arad
<06166>_;

and they went
<03212> (8799)

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

among
<0854>

the people
<05971>_.

1:17

And Judah
<03063>

went
<03212> (8799)

with Simeon
<08095>

his brother
<0251>_,

and they slew
<05221> (8686)

the Canaanites
<03669>

that inhabited
<03427> (8802)

Zephath
<06857>_,

and utterly destroyed
<02763> (8686)

it. And the name
<08034>

of the city
<05892>

was called
<07121> (8799)

Hormah
<02767>_.

1:18

Also Judah
<03063>

took
<03920> (8799)

Gaza
<05804>

with the coast
<01366>

thereof, and Askelon
<0831>

with the coast
<01366>

thereof, and Ekron
<06138>

with the coast
<01366>

thereof.

1:19

And the LORD
<03068>

was with Judah
<03063>_;

and he drave out
<03423> (8686)

[the inhabitants of] the mountain
<02022>_;

but could not
<03808>

drive out
<03423> (8687)

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the valley
<06010>_,

because they had chariots
<07393>

of iron
<01270>_.

{drave...: or, possessed the mountain}

1:20

And they gave
<05414> (8799)

Hebron
<02275>

unto Caleb
<03612>_,

as Moses
<04872>

said
<01696> (8765)_:

and he expelled
<03423> (8686)

thence the three
<07969>

sons
<01121>

of Anak
<06061>_.

1:21

And the children
<01121>

of Benjamin
<01144>

did not drive out
<03423> (8689)

the Jebusites
<02983>

that inhabited
<03427> (8802)

Jerusalem
<03389>_;

but the Jebusites
<02983>

dwell
<03427> (8799)

with the children
<01121>

of Benjamin
<01144>

in Jerusalem
<03389>

unto this day
<03117>_.

1:22

And the house
<01004>

of Joseph
<03130>_,

they also went up
<05927> (8799)

against Bethel
<01008>_:

and the LORD
<03068>

[was] with them.

1:23

And the house
<01004>

of Joseph
<03130>

sent to descry
<08446> (8686)

Bethel
<01008>_.

(Now the name
<08034>

of the city
<05892>

before
<06440>

[was] Luz
<03870>.)

1:24

And the spies
<08104> (8802)

saw
<07200> (8799)

a man
<0376>

come forth
<03318> (8802)

out of the city
<05892>_,

and they said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Shew
<07200> (8685)

us, we pray thee, the entrance
<03996>

into the city
<05892>_,

and we will shew
<06213> (8804)

thee mercy
<02617>_.

1:25

And when he shewed
<07200> (8686)

them the entrance
<03996>

into the city
<05892>_,

they smote
<05221> (8686)

the city
<05892>

with the edge
<06310>

of the sword
<02719>_;

but they let go
<07971> (8765)

the man
<0376>

and all his family
<04940>_.

1:26

And the man
<0376>

went
<03212> (8799)

into the land
<0776>

of the Hittites
<02850>_,

and built
<01129> (8799)

a city
<05892>_,

and called
<07121> (8799)

the name
<08034>

thereof Luz
<03870>_:

which [is] the name
<08034>

thereof unto this day
<03117>_.

1:27

Neither did Manasseh
<04519>

drive out
<03423> (8689)

[the inhabitants of] Bethshean
<01052>

and her towns
<01323>_,

nor Taanach
<08590>

and her towns
<01323>_,

nor the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Dor
<01756>

and her towns
<01323>_,

nor the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Ibleam
<02991>

and her towns
<01323>_,

nor the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Megiddo
<04023>

and her towns
<01323>_:

but the Canaanites
<03669>

would
<02974> (8686)

dwell
<03427> (8800)

in that land
<0776>_.

1:28

And it came to pass, when Israel
<03478>

was strong
<02388> (8804)_,

that they put
<07760> (8799)

the Canaanites
<03669>

to tribute
<04522>_,

and did not utterly
<03423> (8687)

drive them out
<03423> (8689)_.

1:29

Neither did Ephraim
<0669>

drive out
<03423> (8689)

the Canaanites
<03669>

that dwelt
<03427> (8802)

in Gezer
<01507>_;

but the Canaanites
<03669>

dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in Gezer
<01507>

among
<07130>

them.

1:30

Neither did Zebulun
<02074>

drive out
<03423> (8689)

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Kitron
<07003>_,

nor the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Nahalol
<05096>_;

but the Canaanites
<03669>

dwelt
<03427> (8799)

among
<07130>

them, and became tributaries
<04522>_.

1:31

Neither did Asher
<0836>

drive out
<03423> (8689)

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Accho
<05910>_,

nor the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Zidon
<06721>_,

nor of Ahlab
<0303>_,

nor of Achzib
<0392>_,

nor of Helbah
<02462>_,

nor of Aphik
<0663>_,

nor of Rehob
<07340>_:

1:32

But the Asherites
<0843>

dwelt
<03427> (8799)

among
<07130>

the Canaanites
<03669>_,

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the land
<0776>_:

for they did not drive them out
<03423> (8689)_.

1:33

Neither did Naphtali
<05321>

drive out
<03423> (8689)

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Bethshemesh
<01053>_,

nor the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Bethanath
<01043>_;

but he dwelt
<03427> (8799)

among
<07130>

the Canaanites
<03669>_,

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the land
<0776>_:

nevertheless the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Bethshemesh
<01053>

and of Bethanath
<01043>

became tributaries
<04522>

unto them.

1:34

And the Amorites
<0567>

forced
<03905> (8799)

the children
<01121>

of Dan
<01835>

into the mountain
<02022>_:

for they would not suffer
<05414> (8804)

them to come down
<03381> (8800)

to the valley
<06010>_:

1:35

But the Amorites
<0567>

would
<02974> (8686)

dwell
<03427> (8800)

in mount
<02022>

Heres
<02776>

in Aijalon
<0357>_,

and in Shaalbim
<08169>_:

yet the hand
<03027>

of the house
<01004>

of Joseph
<03130>

prevailed
<03513> (8799)_,

so that they became tributaries
<04522>_.

{prevailed: Heb. was heavy}

1:36

And the coast
<01366>

of the Amorites
<0567>

[was] from the going up
<04608>

to Akrabbim
<04610>_,

from the rock
<05553>_,

and upward
<04605>_.

{the going...: or, Maalehacrabbim}
