Judges 4:3-9

LEB(i) 3 And the Israelites* cried to Yahweh, as he had nine hundred iron chariots,* and he oppressed the Israelites* cruelly* for twenty years.* 4 Now at that time Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was judging* Israel. 5 And she used to sit under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim; and the Israelites* went up to her for judgment. 6 She sent and called for Barak son of Abinoam from Kedesh Naphtali and said to him, "Has not Yahweh the God of Israel commanded you? 'Go, march to* Mount Tabor, and take ten thousand men from the descendants* of Naphtali and Zebulun. 7 I will draw out* Sisera, the commander of Jabin's army, with his chariots and troops, to the wadi* of Kishon, and I will give him into your hand.'" 8 Barak said to her, "If you go with me, I will go; but if you do not go with me, I will not go." 9 She said, "Surely I will go with you; however, there will be no glory for you in the path you are taking,* for Yahweh will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman." And Deborah stood up and went with Barak to Kedesh.
