Judges 4:7-5:31 and I have drawn unto you, unto the brook Kishon, Sisera, head of the host of Jabin, and his chariot, and his multitude, and have given him into your hand..

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ and I have drawn unto you, unto the brook Kishon, Sisera, head of the host of Jabin, and his chariot, and his multitude, and have given him into your hand.. ⁸ And Barak said unto her, `If you do go with me, then I have gone; and if you do not go with me, I do not go;. ⁹ and she said, `I do certainly go with you; only, surely your glory is not on the way which you are going, for into the hand of a woman does Yahweh sell Sisera;' and Deborah rises and goes with Barak to Kedesh. ¹⁰ And Barak calls Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh, and he goes up--at his feet [are] ten thousand men--and Deborah goes up with him. ¹¹ And Heber the Kenite has been separated from the Kenite, from the sons of Hobab father-in-law of Moses, and he stretches out his tent unto the oak in Zaanaim, which [is] by Kedesh. ¹² And they declare to Sisera that Barak son of Abinoam has gone up to mount Tabor, ¹³ and Sisera calls all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people who [are] with him, from Harosheth of the Goyim, unto the brook Kishon. ¹⁴ And Deborah said unto Barak, `Rise, for this [is] the day in which Yahweh has given Sisera into your hand; has not Yahweh gone out before you?' And Barak goes down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him. ¹⁵ And Yahweh destroys Sisera, and all the chariots, and all the camp, by the mouth of the sword, before Barak, and Sisera comes down from off the chariot, and flees on his feet. ¹⁶ And Barak has pursued after the chariots and after the camp, unto Harosheth of the Goyim, and all the camp of Sisera falls by the mouth of the sword--there has not been left even one. ¹⁷ And Sisera has fled on his feet unto the tent of Jael wife of Heber the Kenite, for peace [is] between Jabin king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite;" ¹⁸ and Jael goes out to meet Sisera, and said unto him, `Turn aside, my lord, turn aside unto me, fear not;' and he turns aside unto her, into the tent, and she covers him with a coverlet. ¹⁹ And he said unto her, `Give me to drink, I pray you, a little water, for I am thirsty;' and she opens the bottle of milk, and gives him to drink, and covers him. ²⁰ And he said unto her, `Stand at the opening of the tent, and it has been, if any does come in, and has asked you, and said, Is there a man here? that you have said, There is not.. ²¹ And Jael wife of Heber takes the pin of the tent, and takes the hammer in her hand, and goes unto him gently, and strikes the pin into his temples, and it fastens in the earth--and he has been fast asleep, and is weary--and he dies. ²² And lo, Barak is pursuing Sisera, and Jael comes out to meet him, and said to him, `Come, and I show you the man whom you are seeking;' and he comes in unto her, and lo, Sisera is fallen--dead, and the pin in his temples. ²³ And Elohim humbles on that day Jabin king of Canaan before the sons of Israel, ²⁴ and the hand of the sons of Israel goes, going on and becoming hard on Jabin king of Canaan, till that they have cut off Jabin king of Canaan. ⁵ ¹ And Deborah sings--also Barak son of Abinoam--on that day, saying:-. ² `For freeing freemen in Israel, For a people willingly offering themselves Bless you Yahweh. ³ Hear, you kings; give ear, you princes, I, to Yahweh, I--I do sing, I sing praise to Yahweh, Elohim of Israel. ⁴ Yahweh, in Your going forth out of Seir, In Your stepping out of the field of Edom, Earth trembled, also the heavens dropped, Also thick clouds dropped water. ⁵ Hills flowed from the face of Yahweh, This one--Sinai--From the face of Yahweh, Elohim of Israel. ⁶ In the days of Shamgar son of Anath--In the days of Jael--The ways have ceased, And those going in the paths go [in] crooked ways. ⁷ Villages ceased in Israel--they ceased, Till that I arose--Deborah, That I arose, a mother in Israel. ⁸ He chooses new elohims, Then war [is] at the gates! A shield is not seen--and a spear Among forty thousand in Israel. ⁹ My heart [is] to the lawgivers of Israel, Who are offering themselves willingly among the people, Bless you Yahweh!" ¹⁰ Riders on white asses--Sitters on a long robe--And walkers by the way--meditate! ¹¹ By the voice of shouters Between the places of drawing water, There they give out righteous acts of Yahweh, Righteous acts of His villages in Israel, Then ruled in the gates have the people of Yahweh. ¹² Awake, awake, Deborah; Awake, awake, utter a song; Rise, Barak, and take captive your captivity, Son of Abinoam. ¹³ Then him who is left of the honorable ones He caused to rule the people of Yahweh, He caused me to rule among the mighty. ¹⁴ Out of Ephraim their root [is] against Amalek. After you, Benjamin, among your peoples. Out of Machir came down lawgivers, And out of Zebulun those drawing with the reed of a writer. ¹⁵ And princes in Issachar [are] with Deborah, Yea, Issachar [is] right with Barak, Into the valley he was sent on his feet. In the divisions of Reuben, Great [are] the decrees of heart!" ¹⁶ Why have you abode between the boundaries, To hear lowings of herds? For the divisions of Reuben, Great [are] the searchings of heart!" ¹⁷ Gilead beyond the Jordan did tabernacle, And Dan--why does he sojourn [in] ships? Asher has abode at the haven of the seas, And by his creeks does tabernacle. ¹⁸ Zebulun [is] a people who exposed its soul to death, Naphtali also--on high places of the field. ¹⁹ Kings came--they fought; Then fought kings of Canaan, In Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo; Gain of money they took not!" ²⁰ From the heavens they fought:The stars from their highways fought with Sisera. ²¹ The brook Kishon swept them away, The brook most ancient--the brook Kishon. You do tread down strength, O my soul!" ²² Then broken were the horse-heels, By pransings--pransings of its mighty ones. ²³ Curse Meroz--said a messenger of Yahweh, Cursing, curse you its inhabitants, For they came not to the help of Yahweh, To the help of Yahweh among the mighty!" ²⁴ Blessed above women is Jael, Wife of Heber the Kenite, Above women in the tent she is blessed. ²⁵ Water he asked--milk she gave; In a lordly dish she brought near butter. ²⁶ Her hand to the pin she sends forth, And her right hand to the laborers' hammer, And she hammered Sisera--she smote his head, Yea, she smote, and it passed through his temple. ²⁷ Between her feet he bowed--He fell, he lay down; Between her feet he bowed, he fell; Where he bowed, there he fell--destroyed. ²⁸ Through the window she has looked out--Yea, she cries out--the mother of Sisera, Through the lattice:Wherefore is his chariot delaying to come? Wherefore tarried have the steps of his chariot? ²⁹ The wise ones, her princesses, answer her, Yea, she returns her sayings to herself. ³⁰ Do they not find? --they apportion spoil, A female--two females--for every head, Spoil of finger-work for Sisera, Spoil of embroidered finger-work, Finger-work--a pair of embroidered things, For the necks of the spoil!" ³¹ So do all Your enemies perish, O Yahweh, And those loving Him [are] As the going out of the sun in its might!' and the land rests forty years.
