Judges 5:20–30

²⁰From heaven was the fight; The stars from their courses fought with Sisera. ²¹The torrent of Kishon swept them away, That ancient torrent, the torrent Kishon. My soul, thou hast trodden down strength! ²²Then did the horse-hoofs clatter with the coursings, The coursings of their steeds. ²³Curse Meroz, saith the Angel of Jehovah; Curse, curse the inhabitants thereof; For they came not to the help of Jehovah, To the help of Jehovah among the mighty.

²⁴Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, Blessed above women in the tent! ²⁵He asked water, she gave milk; In the nobles’ bowl she brought forth cream. ²⁶She put her hand to the tent-pin, And her right hand to the workmen’s hammer; And she smote Sisera, she struck through his head, Shattered and pierced through his temples. ²⁷Between her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: Between her feet he bowed, he fell; Where he bowed, there he fell, overcome. ²⁸Them other of Sisera looketh out at the window, And crieth through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why tarry the trampings of his chariots? ²⁹The wise amongst her ladies answer her, Yea, she returneth answer to herself, ³⁰Have they not found, divided the booty, A damsel, two damsels, to each? A booty of dyed stuffs for Sisera, A booty of dyed stuffs of embroidery, Dyed stuff of double embroidery for the neck of a spoiler?
