Judges 4:2 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 After Ehud's death, the Israelites again did evil in the LORD's sight.
2 So the LORD turned them over to King Jabin of Hazor, a Canaanite king. The commander of his army was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth-haggoyim.
3 Sisera, who had 900 iron chariots, ruthlessly oppressed the Israelites for twenty years. Then the people of Israel cried out to the LORD for help.
4 Deborah, the wife of Lappidoth, was a prophet who was judging Israel at that time.
5 She would sit under the Palm of Deborah, between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites would go to her for judgment.
6 One day she sent for Barak son of Abinoam, who lived in Kedesh in the land of Naphtali. She said to him, "This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, commands you: Call out 10,000 warriors from the tribes of Naphtali and Zebulun at Mount Tabor.
7 And I will call out Sisera, commander of Jabin's army, along with his chariots and warriors, to the Kishon River. There I will give you victory over him."
8 Barak told her, "I will go, but only if you go with me."
9 "Very well," she replied, "I will go with you. But you will receive no honor in this venture, for the LORD's victory over Sisera will be at the hands of a woman." So Deborah went with Barak to Kedesh.
10 At Kedesh, Barak called together the tribes of Zebulun and Naphtali, and 10,000 warriors went up with him. Deborah also went with him.
11 Now Heber the Kenite, a descendant of Moses' brother-in-law Hobab, had moved away from the other members of his tribe and pitched his tent by the oak of Zaanannim near Kedesh.
12 When Sisera was told that Barak son of Abinoam had gone up to Mount Tabor,
13 he called for all 900 of his iron chariots and all of his warriors, and they marched from Harosheth-haggoyim to the Kishon River.
14 Then Deborah said to Barak, "Get ready! This is the day the LORD will give you victory over Sisera, for the LORD is marching ahead of you." So Barak led his 10,000 warriors down the slopes of Mount Tabor into battle.
15 When Barak attacked, the LORD threw Sisera and all his chariots and warriors into a panic. Sisera leaped down from his chariot and escaped on foot.
16 Then Barak chased the chariots and the enemy army all the way to Harosheth-haggoyim, killing all of Sisera's warriors. Not a single one was left alive.
17 Meanwhile, Sisera ran to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, because Heber's family was on friendly terms with King Jabin of Hazor.
18 Jael went out to meet Sisera and said to him, "Come into my tent, sir. Come in. Don't be afraid." So he went into her tent, and she covered him with a blanket.
19 "Please give me some water," he said. "I'm thirsty." So she gave him some milk from a leather bag and covered him again.
20 "Stand at the door of the tent," he told her. "If anybody comes and asks you if there is anyone here, say no."
21 But when Sisera fell asleep from exhaustion, Jael quietly crept up to him with a hammer and tent peg in her hand. Then she drove the tent peg through his temple and into the ground, and so he died.
22 When Barak came looking for Sisera, Jael went out to meet him. She said, "Come, and I will show you the man you are looking for." So he followed her into the tent and found Sisera lying there dead, with the tent peg through his temple.
23 So on that day Israel saw God defeat Jabin, the Canaanite king.
24 And from that time on Israel became stronger and stronger against King Jabin until they 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 .
