1. After Ehud died, the people of Israel sinned in the eyes of the Lord again.
|
1. And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 again H3254 did H6213 evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD H3068 , when Ehud H261 was dead H4191 .
|
|
2. So the Lord let them be taken by Jabin king of Canaan, who ruled in Hazor. The head of his army was Sisera, who lived in Haroshethhagoyim.
|
2. And the LORD H3068 sold H4376 them into the hand H3027 of Jabin H2985 king H4428 of Canaan H3667 , that H834 reigned H4427 in Hazor H2674 ; the captain H8269 of whose host H6635 was Sisera H5516 , which H1931 dwelt H3427 in Harosheth of the Gentiles H2800 .
|
|
3. The people of Israel cried to the Lord, for Jabin had 900 iron war-wagons. He made it very hard for the people of Israel for twenty years.
|
3. And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 cried H6817 unto H413 the LORD H3068 : for H3588 he had nine H8672 hundred H3967 chariots H7393 of iron H1270 ; and twenty H6242 years H8141 he H1931 mightily H2393 oppressed H3905 H853 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 .
|
|
4. Now Lappidoth's wife Deborah, a woman who spoke for God, was judging Israel at that time.
|
4. And Deborah H1683 , a prophetess H5031 H802 , the wife H802 of Lapidoth H3941 , she H1931 judged H8199 H853 Israel H3478 at that H1931 time H6256 .
|
|
5. She would sit under the tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim. And the people of Israel came to her to find out what was right or wrong.
|
5. And she H1931 dwelt H3427 under H8478 the palm tree H8560 of Deborah H1683 between H996 Ramah H7414 and Bethel H1008 in mount H2022 Ephraim H669 : and the children H1121 of Israel H3478 came up H5927 to H413 her for judgment H4941 .
|
|
6. She sent for Barak the son of Abinoam from Kedeshnaphtali, and said to him, "The Lord, the God of Israel, says, 'Go to Mount Tabor. Take with you 10,000 men from the sons of Naphtali and Zebulun.
|
6. And she sent H7971 and called H7121 Barak H1301 the son H1121 of Abinoam H42 out of Kedesh H4480 H6943 H5320 -naphtali , and said H559 unto H413 him , Hath not H3808 the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 commanded H6680 , saying , Go H1980 and draw H4900 toward mount H2022 Tabor H8396 , and take H3947 with H5973 thee ten H6235 thousand H505 men H376 of the children H4480 H1121 of Naphtali H5321 and of the children H4480 H1121 of Zebulun H2074 ?
|
|
7. I will have Sisera, the head of Jabin's army, meet you at the river Kishon. He will have his war-wagons and his many soldiers with him. But I will give him into your hand.' "
|
7. And I will draw H4900 unto H413 thee to H413 the river H5158 Kishon H7028 H853 Sisera H5516 , the captain H8269 of Jabin H2985 's army H6635 , with his chariots H7393 and his multitude H1995 ; and I will deliver H5414 him into thine hand H3027 .
|
|
8. Then Barak said to her, "I will go if you go with me. But if you do not go with me, I will not go."
|
8. And Barak H1301 said H559 unto H413 her, If H518 thou wilt go H1980 with H5973 me , then I will go H1980 : but if H518 thou wilt not H3808 go H1980 with H5973 me, then I will not H3808 go H1980 .
|
|
9. And she said, "For sure I will go with you. But the honor will not be yours as you go on your way. For the Lord will sell Sisera into the hands of a woman." Then Deborah got up and went with Barak to Kedesh.
|
9. And she said H559 , I will surely go H1980 H1980 with H5973 thee: notwithstanding H3808 H57 the journey H1870 that H834 thou H859 takest H1980 shall not H3808 be H1961 for thine honor H8597 ; for H3588 the LORD H3068 shall sell H4376 H853 Sisera H5516 into the hand H3027 of a woman H802 . And Deborah H1683 arose H6965 , and went H1980 with H5973 Barak H1301 to Kedesh H6943 .
|
|
10. Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to come to Kedesh. He went up with 10,000 men. And Deborah went up with him.
|
10. And Barak H1301 called H2199 H853 Zebulun H2074 and Naphtali H5321 to Kedesh H6943 ; and he went up H5927 with ten H6235 thousand H505 men H376 at his feet H7272 : and Deborah H1683 went up H5927 with H5973 him.
|
|
11. Now Heber the Kenite had gone away from the Kenites, from the sons of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses. He had put up his tent as far away as the big tree in Zaanannim, near Kedesh.
|
11. Now Heber H2268 the Kenite H7014 , which was of the children H4480 H1121 of Hobab H2246 the father H2859 -in-law of Moses H4872 , had severed himself H6504 from the Kenites H4480 H7017 , and pitched H5186 his tent H168 unto H5704 the plain H436 of Zaanaim H6815 , which H834 is by H854 Kedesh H6943 .
|
|
12. They told Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam had gone up to Mount Tabor.
|
12. And they showed H5046 Sisera H5516 that H3588 Barak H1301 the son H1121 of Abinoam H42 was gone up H5927 to mount H2022 Tabor H8396 .
|
|
13. Sisera gathered together all his 900 iron war-wagons. He gathered together all the people who were with him, from Haroshethhagoyim to the river Kishon.
|
13. And Sisera H5516 gathered together H2199 H853 all H3605 his chariots H7393 , even nine H8672 hundred H3967 chariots H7393 of iron H1270 , and all H3605 the people H5971 that H834 were with H854 him , from Harosheth of the Gentiles H4480 H2800 unto H413 the river H5158 of Kishon H7028 .
|
|
14. Deborah said to Barak, "Get up! For this is the day the Lord has given Sisera into your hands. See, the Lord has gone out before you." So Barak went down from Mount Tabor, and 10,000 men followed him.
|
14. And Deborah H1683 said H559 unto H413 Barak H1301 , Up H6965 ; for H3588 this H2088 is the day H3117 in which H834 the LORD H3068 hath delivered H5414 H853 Sisera H5516 into thine hand H3027 : is not H3808 the LORD H3068 gone out H3318 before H6440 thee? So Barak H1301 went down H3381 from mount H4480 H2022 Tabor H8396 , and ten H6235 thousand H505 men H376 after H310 him.
|
|
15. The Lord brought trouble upon Sisera and all his war-wagons and all his army in front of Barak with the sword. Sisera got down from his war-wagon and ran away on foot.
|
15. And the LORD H3068 discomfited H2000 H853 Sisera H5516 , and all H3605 his chariots H7393 , and all H3605 his host H4264 , with the edge H6310 of the sword H2719 before H6440 Barak H1301 ; so that Sisera H5516 lighted down H3381 off H4480 H5921 his chariot H4818 , and fled away H5127 on his feet H7272 .
|
|
16. But Barak went after the war-wagons and the army as far as Harosheth-hagoyim. All of Sisera's army fell by the sword. Not one was left.
|
16. But Barak H1301 pursued H7291 after H310 the chariots H7393 , and after H310 the host H4264 , unto H5704 Harosheth of the Gentiles H2800 : and all H3605 the host H4264 of Sisera H5516 fell H5307 upon the edge H6310 of the sword H2719 ; and there was not H3808 a man H259 left H7604 .
|
|
17. Sisera ran away on foot to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite. For there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the family of Heber the Kenite.
|
17. Howbeit Sisera H5516 fled away H5127 on his feet H7272 to H413 the tent H168 of Jael H3278 the wife H802 of Heber H2268 the Kenite H7017 : for H3588 there was peace H7965 between H996 Jabin H2985 the king H4428 of Hazor H2674 and the house H1004 of Heber H2268 the Kenite H7017 .
|
|
18. Jael went out to meet Sisera, saying, "Come in, my lord. Come in to me. Do not be afraid." So he went into her tent, and she put a cover over him.
|
18. And Jael H3278 went out H3318 to meet H7125 Sisera H5516 , and said H559 unto H413 him , Turn in H5493 , my lord H113 , turn in H5493 to H413 me; fear H3372 not H408 . And when he had turned in H5493 unto H413 her into the tent H168 , she covered H3680 him with a mantle H8063 .
|
|
19. He said to her, "Give me a little water to drink. For I am thirsty." So she opened a skin bag of milk and gave him a drink. Then she covered him.
|
19. And he said H559 unto H413 her , Give me , I pray thee H4994 , a little H4592 water H4325 to drink H8248 ; for H3588 I am thirsty H6770 . And she opened H6605 H853 a bottle H4997 of milk H2461 , and gave him drink H8248 , and covered H3680 him.
|
|
20. He said to her, "Stand in the door of the tent. If anyone comes and asks you, 'Is there anyone here?' you say, 'No.' "
|
20. Again he said H559 unto H413 her, Stand H5975 in the door H6607 of the tent H168 , and it shall be H1961 , when H518 any man H376 doth come H935 and inquire H7592 of thee , and say H559 , Is H3426 there any man H376 here H6311 ? that thou shalt say H559 , No H369 .
|
|
21. But Heber's wife Jael took a big tent nail in her hand and a tool to hit it with. Because Sisera was very tired, he went into a deep sleep. She went to him in secret and hit the big nail into the side of his head. It went through and into the ground. So he died.
|
21. Then Jael H3278 Heber H2268 's wife H802 took H3947 H853 a nail H3489 of the tent H168 , and took H7760 H853 a hammer H4718 in her hand H3027 , and went H935 softly H3814 unto H413 him , and smote H8628 H853 the nail H3489 into his temples H7451 , and fastened H6795 it into the ground H776 : for he H1931 was fast asleep H7290 and weary H5774 . So he died H4191 .
|
|
22. As Barak came after Sisera, Jael came out to meet him. She said to him, "Come. I will show you the man you are looking for." So Barak went in with her, and he saw Sisera lying dead with the big tent nail in his head.
|
22. And, behold H2009 , as Barak H1301 pursued H7291 H853 Sisera H5516 , Jael H3278 came out H3318 to meet H7125 him , and said H559 unto him, Come H1980 , and I will show H7200 thee H853 the man H376 whom H834 thou H859 seekest H1245 . And when he came H935 into H413 her tent , behold H2009 , Sisera H5516 lay H5307 dead H4191 , and the nail H3489 was in his temples H7451 .
|
|
23. God put Jabin the king of Canaan under the power of the people of Israel on that day.
|
23. So God H430 subdued H3665 on that H1931 day H3117 H853 Jabin H2985 the king H4428 of Canaan H3667 before H6440 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 .
|
|
24. The people of Israel made it harder and harder for Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed him.
|
24. And the hand H3027 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 prospered H1980 , and prevailed H1980 H7186 against H5921 Jabin H2985 the king H4428 of Canaan H3667 , until H5704 H834 they had destroyed H3772 H853 Jabin H2985 king H4428 of Canaan H3667 .
