* "
The kings came and fought ,
Then the kings of Canaan fought In Taanach ,
by the waters of Megiddo ;
They took no spoils of silver .
*
They fought from the heavens ;
The stars from their courses fought against Sisera .
*
The torrent of Kishon swept them away ,
That ancient torrent ,
the torrent of Kishon .
O my soul ,
march on in strength !
*
Then the horses '
hooves pounded ,
The galloping ,
galloping of his steeds .
* "
Curse Meroz ,'
said the angel of the LORD , "
Curse its inhabitants bitterly ,
Because they did not come to the help of the LORD ,
To the help of the LORD against the mighty .'
* "
Most blessed among women is Jael ,
The wife of Heber the Kenite ;
Blessed is she among women in tents .
*
He asked for water ,
she gave milk ;
She brought out cream in a lordly bowl .
*
She stretched her hand to the tent peg ,
Her right hand to the workmen '
s hammer ;
She pounded Sisera ,
she pierced his head ,
She split and struck through his temple .
*
At her feet he sank ,
he fell ,
he lay still ;
At her feet he sank ,
he fell ;
Where he sank ,
there he fell dead .
* "
The mother of Sisera looked through the window ,
And cried out through the lattice , "
Why is his chariot so long in coming ?
Why tarries the clatter of his chariots ?'
*
Her wisest ladies answered her ,
Yes ,
she answered herself ,
* "
Are they not finding and dividing the spoil :
To every man a girl or two ;
For Sisera ,
plunder of dyed garments ,
Plunder of garments embroidered and dyed ,
Two pieces of dyed embroidery for the neck of the looter ?'
* "
Thus let all Your enemies perish ,
O LORD !
But let those who love Him be like the sun When it comes out in full strength ."
So the land had rest for forty years .
