Judges 4:14-16

Context
4:14 Deborah said to Barak, “Spring into action, 1  for this is the day the Lord is handing Sisera over to you! 2  Has the Lord not taken the lead?” 3  Barak quickly went down from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men following him. 4:15 The Lord routed 4  Sisera, all his chariotry, and all his army with the edge of the sword. 5  Sisera jumped out of 6  his chariot and ran away on foot. 4:16 Now Barak chased the chariots and the army all the way to Harosheth Haggoyim. Sisera’s whole army died 7  by the edge of the sword; not even one survived! 8
