Judges 4 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 After Ehud died, the people again did what the Lord said was wrong.
2 So the Lord allowed King Jabin of Canaan to defeat the Israelites. Jabin ruled in a city named Hazor. A man named Sisera was the commander of King Jabin's army. Sisera lived in a town called Harosheth Haggoyim.
3 Sisera had 900 iron chariots, and he was very cruel to the Israelites for 20 years. So they cried to the Lord for help.
4 There was a woman prophet named Deborah. She was the wife of a man named Lappidoth. She was judge of Israel at that time.
5 One day Deborah was sitting under the Palm Tree of Deborah, and the Israelites came up to her to ask what to do about Sisera. (The Palm Tree of Deborah is between the cities of Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim.)
6 Deborah sent a message to a man named Barak and asked him to come meet with her. Barak was the son of a man named Abinoam. Barak lived in the city of Kedesh, which is in the area of Naphtali. Deborah said to Barak, "The Lord, the God of Israel, commands you: 'Go and gather 10,000 men from the tribes of Naphtali and Zebulun. Lead them to Mount Tabor.
7 I will make Sisera, the commander of King Jabin's army, come to you. I will make Sisera, his chariots, and his army come to the Kishon River. I will help you defeat Sisera there.'"
8 Then Barak said to Deborah, "I will go and do this if you will go with me. But if you will not go with me, I will not go."
9 "Of course I will go with you," Deborah answered. "But because of your attitude, you will not be honored when Sisera is defeated. The Lord will allow a woman to defeat Sisera." So Deborah went with Barak to the city of Kedesh.
10 At the city of Kedesh, Barak called the tribes of Zebulun and Naphtali together. He gathered 10,000 men to follow him from these tribes, and Deborah also went with him.
11 There was a man named Heber who was from the Kenites. The Kenites were descendants of Moses' father-in-law, Hobab. Heber had left the other Kenites and had made his home by the oak tree in Zaanannim, near the city of Kedesh.
12 Someone told Sisera that Barak son of Abinoam was at Mount Tabor.
13 So Sisera got together his 900 iron chariots and all the men with him, and they marched from the city of Harosheth Haggoyim to the Kishon River.
14 Then Deborah said to Barak, "Today the Lord will help you defeat Sisera. Surely you know that the Lord has already cleared the way for you." So Barak led the 10,000 men down from Mount Tabor.
15 Barak and his men attacked Sisera. During the battle, the Lord confused Sisera and his army and chariots. They did not know what to do. Barak and his men defeated Sisera's army, but Sisera left his chariot and ran away on foot.
16 Barak continued fighting Sisera's army. He and his men chased Sisera's chariots and army all the way to Harosheth Haggoyim. They used their swords to kill all of Sisera's men. Not one of Sisera's men was left alive.
17 But Sisera ran away to the tent where a woman named Jael lived. Jael was the wife of Heber, the Kenite. His family was at peace with King Jabin of Hazor. That is why Sisera ran to Jael's tent.
18 Jael saw him coming, so she went out to meet him and said, "Sir, come into my tent. Come in. Don't be afraid." So Sisera went into Jael's tent, and she covered him with a blanket.
19 But first, Sisera asked Jael for a drink of water. Jael had some milk in a bottle made from animal skin. So she gave him a drink of the milk and then covered him up.
20 Then Sisera said to Jael, "Go stand at the entrance to the tent. If anyone comes by and asks you, 'Is anyone in there?' say, 'No.'"
21 But Jael found a tent peg and a hammer. She quietly went to Sisera. Sisera was very tired, so he was sleeping. She put the tent peg to the side of Sisera's head and hit it with a hammer. The tent peg went through the side of his head and into the ground. Sisera died.
22 Just then Barak came by Jael's tent, looking for Sisera. Jael went out to meet Barak and said, "Come in here, and I will show you the man you are looking for." So Barak entered the tent with Jael. There Barak found Sisera lying dead on the ground, with the tent peg through the side of his head.
23 On that day God defeated King Jabin of Canaan for the Israelites.
24 So the Israelites became stronger and stronger until they defeated King Jabin of Canaan. The Israelites finally destroyed him.
1 And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 again H3254 did H6213 L-VQFC evil H7451 in the sight H5869 B-CMP of the LORD H3068 EDS , when Ehud H261 was dead H4191 .
2 And the LORD H3068 EDS sold H4376 them into the hand H3027 B-CFS of Jabin H2985 king H4428 NMS of Canaan H3667 LMS , that H834 RPRO reigned H4427 in Hazor H2674 ; the captain H8269 of whose host H6635 was Sisera H5516 , which H1931 W-PPRO-3MS dwelt H3427 VQPMS in Harosheth of the Gentiles H2800 .
3 And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 cried H6817 unto H413 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS : for H3588 CONJ he had nine H8672 BMS hundred H3967 BFP chariots H7393 of iron H1270 NMS ; and twenty H6242 years H8141 NFS he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS mightily H2393 oppressed H3905 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 .
4 And Deborah H1683 , a prophetess H5031 , the wife H802 NFS of Lapidoth H3941 , she H1931 PPRO-3FS judged H8199 Israel H3478 at that H1931 PPRO-3FS time H6256 .
5 And she H1931 dwelt H3427 under H8478 PREP the palm tree H8560 of Deborah H1683 between H996 PREP Ramah H7414 and Bethel H1008 LFS in mount H2022 Ephraim H669 : and the children H1121 of Israel H3478 came up H5927 to H413 PREP-3FS her for judgment H4941 .
6 And she sent H7971 and called H7121 W-VQY2MS Barak H1301 the son H1121 of Abinoam H42 out of Kedesh H6943 - naphtali , and said H559 W-VQY3FS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , Hath not H3808 I-NADV the LORD H3068 EDS God H430 of Israel H3478 commanded H6680 VPQ3MS , saying , Go H1980 VQI2MS and draw H4900 toward mount H2022 Tabor H8396 , and take H3947 with H5973 PREP-2MS thee ten H6235 thousand H505 MMP men H376 NMS of the children H1121 of Naphtali H5321 and of the children H1121 of Zebulun H2074 ?
7 And I will draw H4900 unto H413 PREP thee to H413 PREP the river H5158 NMS Kishon H7028 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 And Barak H1301 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3FS her , If H518 PART thou wilt go H1980 with H5973 me , then I will go H1980 : but if H518 PART thou wilt not H3808 NADV go H1980 with H5973 me , then I will not H3808 NADV go H1980 .
9 And she said H559 W-VQY3FS , I will surely go H1980 with H5973 PREP-2FS thee : notwithstanding H3808 NADV the journey H1870 D-NMS that H834 RPRO thou H859 PPRO-2MS takest H1980 VQY1MS shall not H3808 NADV be H1961 for thine honor H8597 ; for H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS shall sell H4376 Sisera H5516 into the hand H3027 B-CFS of a woman H802 NFS . And Deborah H1683 arose H6965 , and went H1980 VQPMS with H5973 PREP Barak H1301 to Kedesh H6943 .
10 And Barak H1301 called H2199 W-VHY3MS Zebulun H2074 and Naphtali H5321 to Kedesh H6943 ; and he went up H5927 W-VHY3MS with ten H6235 thousand H505 BMP men H376 NMS at his feet H7272 B-CFD-3MS : and Deborah H1683 went up H5927 W-VHY2MS with H5973 PREP-3MS him .
11 Now Heber H2268 the Kenite H7014 , which was of the children H1121 of Hobab H2246 the father H2859 - in - law of Moses H4872 , had severed himself H6504 from the Kenites H7017 , and pitched H5186 W-VQY3MS his tent H168 unto H5704 PREP the plain H436 CMS of Zaanaim H6815 , which H834 RPRO is by H854 PREP Kedesh H6943 .
12 And they showed H5046 Sisera H5516 that H3588 CONJ Barak H1301 the son H1121 of Abinoam H42 was gone up H5927 to mount H2022 CMS Tabor H8396 .
13 And Sisera H5516 gathered together H2199 W-VHY3MS all H3605 NMS his chariots H7393 , even nine H8672 BMS hundred H3967 BFP chariots H7393 of iron H1270 NMS , and all H3605 NMS the people H5971 that H834 RPRO were with H854 PREP-3MS him , from Harosheth of the Gentiles H2800 unto H413 PREP the river H5158 NMS of Kishon H7028 .
14 And Deborah H1683 said H559 W-VQY3FS unto H413 PREP Barak H1301 , Up H6965 VQI2MS ; for H3588 CONJ this H2088 DPRO is the day H3117 D-AMS in which H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS hath delivered H5414 VQQ3MS Sisera H5516 into thine hand H3027 B-CFS-2MS : is not H3808 I-NADV the LORD H3068 EDS gone out H3318 VQQ3MS before H6440 L-CMP-2MS thee ? So Barak H1301 went down H3381 W-VQY3MS from mount H2022 Tabor H8396 , and ten H6235 thousand H505 MMP men H376 NMS after H310 him .
15 And the LORD H3068 EDS discomfited H2000 Sisera H5516 , and all H3605 NMS his chariots H7393 , and all H3605 NMS his host H4264 , with the edge H6310 L-CMS of the sword H2719 GFS before H6440 L-CMP Barak H1301 ; so that Sisera H5516 lighted down H3381 W-VQY3MS off H5921 M-PREP his chariot H4818 , and fled away H5127 on his feet H7272 .
16 But Barak H1301 pursued H7291 after H310 PREP the chariots H7393 , and after H310 the host H4264 , unto H5704 PREP Harosheth of the Gentiles H2800 : and all H3605 NMS the host H4264 of Sisera H5516 fell H5307 W-VQY3MS upon the edge H6310 L-CMS of the sword H2719 GFS ; and there was not H3808 NADV a man H259 ONUM left H7604 VNQ3MS .
17 Howbeit Sisera H5516 fled away H5127 on his feet H7272 B-CFD-3MS to H413 PREP the tent H168 NMS of Jael H3278 the wife H802 CFS of Heber H2268 the Kenite H7017 : for H3588 CONJ there was peace H7965 NMS between H996 PREP Jabin H2985 the king H4428 NMS of Hazor H2674 and the house H1004 CMS of Heber H2268 the Kenite H7017 .
18 And Jael H3278 went out H3318 to meet H7125 L-VQFC Sisera H5516 , and said H559 W-VQY3FS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , Turn in H5493 , my lord H113 , turn in H5493 to H413 PREP-1MS me ; fear H3372 not H408 NPAR . And when he had turned in H5493 W-VHY3MS unto H413 PREP-3FS her into the tent H168 , she covered H3680 him with a mantle H8063 .
19 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3FS her , Give me , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , a little H4592 AMS water H4325 OMD to drink H8248 ; for H3588 CONJ I am thirsty H6770 . And she opened H6605 a bottle H4997 of milk H2461 , and gave him drink H8248 , and covered H3680 him .
20 Again he said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3FS her , Stand H5975 VQI2MS in the door H6607 CMS of the tent H168 , and it shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS , when H518 PART any man H376 NMS doth come H935 VQY3MS and inquire H7592 of thee , and say H559 W-VQY3MS , Is H3426 there any man H376 NMS here H6311 ADV ? that thou shalt say H559 W-VQY3MS , No H369 .
21 Then Jael H3278 Heber H2268 \'s wife H802 CFS took H3947 W-VQY3FS a nail H3489 of the tent H168 , and took H7760 a hammer H4718 in her hand H3027 , and went H935 W-VQY3FS softly H3814 unto H413 PREP-3MS him , and smote H8628 the nail H3489 into his temples H7451 , and fastened H6795 it into the ground H776 B-NFS : for he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS was fast asleep H7290 VNPMS and weary H5774 . So he died H4191 W-VQY3MS .
22 And , behold H2009 IJEC , as Barak H1301 pursued H7291 Sisera H5516 , Jael H3278 came out H3318 to meet H7125 L-VQFC-3MS him , and said H559 W-VQY3FS unto him , Come H1980 VQI2MS , and I will show H7200 thee the man H376 D-NMS whom H834 RPRO thou H859 PPRO-2MS seekest H1245 . And when he came H935 W-VQY3MS into H413 PREP-3FS her tent , behold H2009 IJEC , Sisera H5516 lay H5307 VQPMS dead H4191 , and the nail H3489 was in his temples H7451 .
23 So God H430 EDP subdued H3665 on that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 B-AMS Jabin H2985 the king H4428 NMS of Canaan H3667 EMS before H6440 L-CMP the children H1121 of Israel H3478 LMS .
24 And the hand H3027 CFS of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 prospered H1980 W-VQQ3FS , and prevailed H7186 against H5921 PREP Jabin H2985 the king H4428 NMS of Canaan H3667 EMS , until H5704 PREP they had destroyed H3772 Jabin H2985 king H4428 NMS of Canaan H3667 LMS .
