*
And Barak said unto her ,
If thou wilt go with me ,
then I will go :
but if thou wilt not go with me ,
then I will not go .
*
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 sell Sisera into the hand of a woman .
And Deborah arose ,
and went with Barak to Kedesh .
*
And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh ;
and he went up with ten thousand men at his feet :
and Deborah went up with him .
*
Now Heber the Kenite ,
which was of the children of Hobab the father in law of Moses ,
had severed himself from the Kenites ,
and pitched his tent unto the plain of Zaanaim ,
which is by Kedesh .
*
And they shewed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to mount Tabor .
*
And Sisera gathered together all his chariots ,
even nine hundred chariots of iron ,
and all the people that were with him ,
from Harosheth of the Gentiles unto the river of Kishon .
*
And Deborah said unto Barak ,
Up ;
for this is the day in which the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thine hand :
is not the LORD gone out before thee ?
So Barak went down from mount Tabor ,
and ten thousand men after him .
*
And the LORD discomfited Sisera ,
and all his chariots ,
and all his host ,
with the edge of the sword before Barak ;
so that Sisera lighted down off his chariot ,
and fled away on his feet .
*
But Barak pursued after the chariots ,
and after the host ,
unto Harosheth of the Gentiles :
and all the host of Sisera fell upon the edge of the sword ;
and there was not a man left .
*
Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feet 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 .
*
And Jael went out to meet Sisera ,
and said unto him ,
Turn in ,
my lord ,
turn in to me ;
fear not .
And when he had turned in unto her into the tent ,
she covered him with a mantle .
*
And he said unto her ,
Give me ,
I pray thee ,
a little water to drink ;
for I am thirsty .
And she opened a bottle of milk ,
and gave him drink ,
and covered him .
*
Again he said unto her ,
Stand in the door of the tent ,
and it shall be ,
when any man doth come and enquire of thee ,
and say ,
Is there any man here ?
that thou shalt say ,
No .
*
Then Jael Heber '
s wife took a nail of the tent ,
and took an hammer in her hand ,
and went softly unto him ,
and smote the nail into his temples ,
and fastened it into the ground :
for he was fast asleep and weary .
So he died .
