Judges 4:1–10

*And athe children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord, when Ehud was dead. 2 And the Lord bsold them into the hand of cJabin king of Canaan, that reigned in cHazor; the captain of whose host was ||Sisera, which dwelt in dHarosheth of the Gentiles. 3 And the children of Israel ecried unto the Lord: for he had nine hundred fchariots of iron; and twenty years ghe mightily oppressed the children of Israel. 4 And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time. 5 And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between hRamah and Beth-el in imount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment. 6 *And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of kKedesh-naphtali, and said unto him, Hath not the Lord God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount lTabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun? 7 And I will draw unto thee to the mriver Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his multitude; and nI will deliver him into thine hand. 8 And Barak said unto her, oIf thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go. 9 And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honour; for the Lord shall psell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh. 10 And Barak called qZebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and he went up with ten thousand men rat his feet: and Deborah went up with him.
