Judges 4

Deborah and Barak Deliver from Canaanites

4Then the sons of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, after Ehud died.H1121H3478H3254H6213H7451H5869H3068H164H41912And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor; and the commander of his army was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth-hagoyim.H3068H4376H3027H2985H4428H3667H4427H2674H8269H6635H5516H3427H2800H14713And the sons of Israel cried to the LORD; for he had nine hundred iron chariots, and he oppressed the sons of Israel severely for twenty years.H1121H3478H6817H3068H8672H3967H7393H1270H6242H8141H2394H3905H1121H34784Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel at that time.H1683H5031H802H3941H8199H3478H62565And she used to sit under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim; and the sons of Israel came up to her for judgment.H3427H8560H1683H7414H1008H2022H669H1121H3478H5927H49416Now she sent and summoned Barak the son of Abinoam from Kedesh-naphtali, and said to him, "Behold, the LORD, the God of Israel, has commanded, 'Go and march to Mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men from the sons of Naphtali and from the sons of Zebulun.H7971H7121H1301H1121H42H6943H559H3068H430H3478H6680H3212H4900H2022H8396H3947H6235H505H376H1121H5321H1121H20747'And I will draw out to you Sisera, the commander of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his many [troops] to the river Kishon; and I will give him into your hand.' "H4900H5158H7028H5516H8269H2985H6635H7393H1995H5414H30278Then Barak said to her, "If you will go with me, then I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go."H1301H559H3212H1980H3212H32129And she said, "I will surely go with you; nevertheless, the honor shall not be yours on the journey that you are about to take, for the LORD will sell Sisera into the hands of a woman." Then Deborah arose and went with Barak to Kedesh.H559H1980H3212H657H1870H1980H8597H3068H4376H5516H3027H802H1683H6965H3212H1301H694310And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali together to Kedesh, and ten thousand men went up with him; Deborah also went up with him.H1301H2199H2074H5321H6943H5927H6235H505H376H7272H1683H592711Now Heber the Kenite had separated himself from the Kenites, from the sons of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent as far away as the oak in Zaanannim, which is near Kedesh.H2268H7017H1121H2246H2859H4872H6504H7017H5186H168H436H6815H694312Then they told Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam had gone up to Mount Tabor.H5046H5516H1301H1121H42H5927H2022H839613And Sisera called together all his chariots, nine hundred iron chariots, and all the people who [were] with him, from Harosheth-hagoyim to the river Kishon.H5516H2199H7393H8672H3967H7393H1270H5971H2800H1471H5158H702814And Deborah said to Barak, "Arise! For this is the day in which the LORD has given Sisera into your hands; behold, the LORD has gone out before you." So Barak went down from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men following him.H1683H559H1301H6965H3117H3068H5414H5516H3027H3068H3318H6440H1301H3381H2022H8396H6235H505H376H31015And the LORD routed Sisera and all [his] chariots and all [his] army, with the edge of the sword before Barak; and Sisera alighted from [his] chariot and fled away on foot.H3068H2000H5516H7393H4264H6310H2719H6440H1301H5516H3381H4818H5127H727216But Barak pursued the chariots and the army as far as Harosheth-hagoyim, and all the army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword; not even one was left.H1301H7291H310H7393H4264H2800H1471H4264H5516H5307H6310H2719H259H760417Now Sisera fled 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 house of Heber the Kenite.H5516H5127H7272H168H3278H802H2268H7017H7965H2985H4428H2674H1004H2268H701718And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, "Turn aside, my master, turn aside to me! Do not be afraid." And he turned aside to her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug.H3278H3318H7125H5516H559H5493H113H5493H3372H5493H168H3680H806319And he said to her, "Please give me a little water to drink, for I am thirsty." So she opened a bottle of milk and gave him a drink; then she covered him.H559H4592H4325H8248H6770H6605H4997H2461H8248H368020And he said to her, "Stand in the doorway of the tent, and it shall be if anyone comes and inquires of you, and says, 'Is there anyone here?' that you shall say, 'No.'"H559H5975H6607H168H376H935H7592H559H3426H376H3426H55921But Jael, Heber's wife, took a tent peg and seized a hammer in her hand, and went secretly to him and drove the peg into his temple, and it went through into the ground; for he was sound asleep and exhausted. So he died.H3278H2268H802H3947H3489H168H7760H4718H3027H935H3814H8628H3489H7541H6795H776H7290H5774H419122And behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him and said to him, "Come, and I will show you the man whom you are seeking." And he entered with her, and behold Sisera was lying dead with the tent peg in his temple.H1301H7291H5516H3278H3318H7125H559H3212H7200H376H1245H935H5516H5307H4191H3489H754123So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the sons of Israel.H430H3665H3117H2985H4428H3667H6440H1121H347824And the hand of the sons of Israel pressed heavier and heavier upon Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin the king of Canaan.H3027H1121H3478H3212H1980H7186H2985H4428H3667H3772H2985H4428H3667

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
