And he died in the presence of all his brethren.

¹⁰ And in the days of Saul they warred with the Hagrites which were overthrown by their hands. And they dwelt in their tents throughout all the east land of Gilead.

⁷ And I will bring unto the river Kishon, Sisera, the Captain of war unto Jabin — with his chariots, and his people — and will deliver them into thine hands."

And Sisera lighted down off his chariot and fled afoot. ¹⁶ But Barak followed after the chariots and after the host, even unto Harosheth of the gentiles. And all the host of Sisera fell upon the edge of the sword, that there was not a man left. ¹⁷ Howbeit, Sisera fled afoot to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite: for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor, and the household of Heber the Kenite. ¹⁸ And Jael went out against Sisera and said unto him, "Turn in, my lord. Turn in to me and fear not." And he turned in unto her tent: and she covered him with a mantle. ¹⁹ And he said unto her, "Give me a little water to drink, for I am thirsty." And she opened a bottle of milk and gave him drink and covered him. ²⁰ And he said unto her, "Stand in the door of thy tent, and if any man come and ask thee, or enquire of thee whether there be any man here, say, 'Nay.'" ²¹ Then Jael, Heber's wife, took a nail of the tent, and a hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the nail thorough the temples of his head into the ground, as he slumbered being weary: And so he died. ²² And behold, as Barak followed after Sisera, Jael came out against him, and said unto him, "Come and I will show thee the man whom thou seekest." And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail through his temples. ²³ And so God brought Jabin the king of Canaan into subjection that day, before the children of Israel. ²⁴ And the hand of the children of Israel prospered and was sore upon Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had brought him to nought.

¹ Then Jerubbaal, otherwise called Gideon, rose early, and all the people that were with him, and pitched beside the well of Harod, so that the host of the Midianites were in a valley on the north side of the hill Moreh. ² And the LORD said unto Gideon, "The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel make her vaunt to my dishonour and say, 'Our own hand hath saved us.' ³ Now therefore make a proclamation in the ears of the people and say, 'If any man dread or be afraid, let him return and get him soon from mount Gilead.'" And there departed and returned of the people twenty two thousand, and there abode ten thousand. ⁴ And the LORD said unto Gideon, "The people are yet too many, bring them down unto the water, and I will try them unto thee there. And of whom I say unto thee, this shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee. And whosoever I say unto thee, this shall not go with thee, the same shall not go." ⁵ And when he had brought down the people unto the water, the LORD said unto Gideon, "As many as lap the water with their tongues, as dogs do, them put by themselves; and so do them that kneel down upon their knees to drink." ⁶ And the number of them that put their hands to their mouths and lapped, were three hundred men. And all the remnant of the people knelt down upon their knees to drink water. ⁷ And the LORD said unto Gideon, "With the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand. And all the other people shall go every man unto his own home." ⁸ And they took victuals with them for the folk, and their trumpets. And he sent all the rest of Israel, every man unto his tent, and kept the three hundred with him. And the host of Midian was beneath him in a valley. ⁹ And the same night the LORD said unto him, "Up, and go down unto the host, for I have delivered it into thine hand. ¹⁰ But if thou fear to go down, then go thou down unto the host, and Phurah thy lad, ¹¹ and hearken what they say, and so shall thine hands be strong, and then thou shalt go down unto the host." Then he went down with Phurah his lad, even hard unto the men of arms that were in the host. ¹² And the Midianites, the Amalekites, and all they of the east, lay along in the valley, like unto grasshoppers in multitude, and their camels were without number, even as the sand by the seaside in multitude. ¹³ And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man that told a dream unto his fellow and said, "Behold, I dreamed a dream and me thought that a broiled loaf of barley bread tumbled into the host of Midian, and came unto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay along." ¹⁴ And his fellow answered and said, this is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel, into whose hand God hath delivered Midian and all the host." ¹⁵ When Gideon heard the telling of the dream and the interpretation of the same, he bowed himself to the earth and returned unto the host of Israel, and said, "Up, for the LORD hath delivered into your hands the host of the Midianites." ¹⁶ And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and gave every man a trumpet in his hand, with an empty pitcher and lamps therein, ¹⁷ and said unto them, "Look on me and do likewise: and behold, when I come to the side of the host, even as I do, so do you. ¹⁸ And when I blow with a trumpet, and all that are with me, blow ye with trumpets also on every side the host and say, 'Here be the LORD and Gideon.'" ¹⁹ And so Gideon, and the three hundred men that were with him, came unto the side of the host in the beginning of the middle watch, and raised up the watchmen. And they blew with their trumpets and brake the pitchers that were in their hands. ²⁰ And all three companies blew with trumpets and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right, to blow with all. And they cried, "The sword of the LORD and of Gideon!" ²¹ And they stood still, every man in his place round about the host. And all the host ran and cried and fled. ²² And as the three hundred blew with trumpets, the LORD set every man's sword upon his neighbour, throughout all the host. And the host fled until they came to Bethshittah, to Zererah, and to the edge of Abelmeholah beside Tabbath. ²³ And the men of Israel gathered together of the tribe of Naphtali, of Asher, and of all Manasseh, and followed after the Midianites. ²⁴ For Gideon had sent messengers throughout all mount Ephraim saying, "Come down against the Midianites and take from them the waters both of Bethabara and also of Jordan. Then all the men of Ephraim gathered together and came down and took the waters, both of Bethabara and also of Jordan. ²⁵ And they took two captains of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb, and slew Oreb upon the rock Oreb, and Zeeb at the press Zeeb and followed after Midian. And brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side Jordan.

⁴ For thou shalt break the yoke of the people's burden: the staff of his shoulder and the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.

²⁶ Moreover, the LORD of Hosts shall prepare a scourge for him, like as was the punishment of Midian upon the mount of Oreb. And he shall lift up his rod over the sea, as he did sometimes over the Egyptians.

¹¹ And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher, Bethshean, and her towns: and the inhabiters of Dor, with the towns pertaining to the same: and the inhabiters of Endor with the towns of the same: and the inhabiters of Taanach with her towns and the inhabiters of Megiddo with the towns of the same, even three countries:

⁷ Then said Saul unto his servants, "Seek me a woman that is mistress of a spirit of prophecy; that I may go to her and ask of her." And his servants said to him, "See, there is a woman that hath a spirit of Prophecy in her possession at Endor."

³⁷ and the carcass of Jezebel shall be dung upon the earth, in the field of Jezreel, that men shall not say, this is Jezebel.'"

² and laid against the Sun, the Moon and all the heavenly host: whom they loved, whom they served, whom they ran after, whom they sought and worshipped. They shall neither be gathered together nor buried, but shall lie upon the earth, to their shame and despising.

⁴ They shall die a horrible death: and no man shall mourn for them, nor bury them, but they shall lie as dung upon the earth. They shall perish through the sword, and hunger, and their bodies shall be meat for the fowls of the air, and beasts of the earth.

¹⁷ I will bring the people to such vexation, that they shall go about like blind men; because they have sinned against the LORD. Their blood shall be shed as the dust, and their bodies as the mire.

²⁵ And they took two captains of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb, and slew Oreb upon the rock Oreb, and Zeeb at the press Zeeb and followed after Midian. And brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side Jordan.

¹² Zebah and Zalmunna fled. But he followed after them, and took the two kings of the Midianites, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the host. ¹³ And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle, the sun being yet up, and caught a lad of the men of Succoth, and enquired of him. ¹⁴ And he wrote him, of the lords and elders of Succoth: seventy seven men. ¹⁵ Then he came unto the men of Succoth and said, "Behold, Zebah and Zalmunna, with which ye cast me in the teeth saying, 'Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thy fainty men?'" ¹⁶ And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and all to tear them therewith. ¹⁷ And he brake down the tower of Phanuel and slew the men of the city. ¹⁸ And then said unto Zebah and Zalmunna, "What manner men were they which ye slew at Tabor?" And they answered, "The likeness of thee and them is all one, even after the fashion of the children of a king." ¹⁹ And he said, "They were my brethren, even my mother's children. And as truly as the LORD liveth, if ye had saved their lives, I would not slay you." ²⁰ And he said unto Jether his eldest son, "Up, and slay them." But the lad drew not his sword, for he feared, because he was yet young. ²¹ Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, "Rise thou and fall upon us; for as the man is, so is his strength." And Gideon arose and slew them: and he took away the chains that were on their camels' necks.

¹¹ And see, how they reward us, to come for to cast us out of thy possession which thou hast possessed us with all.

⁷ They have set fire upon thy holy places, and have defiled the dwelling place of thy name, even to the ground. ⁸ Yea, they say in their hearts, "Let us make havoc of them all together." Thus have they burnt up all the houses of God in the land.

⁴ "Come," say they, "let us root them out, that they be no more a people, and that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance."

⁷ And with thy great glory thou hast destroyed thine adversaries! Thou sentest forth thy wrath and it consumed them, even as stubble.

²⁵ Wilt thou be so cruel and extreme unto a flying leaf, and follow upon dry stubble?

¹⁸ Yea, they shall be even as chaff before the wind, and as dust that the storm carrieth away.

¹ {To the Chanter, upon Aijeleth of the dawning, a Psalm of David} My God, my God: why hast thou forsaken me, and art so far from my health and from the words of my complaint?

⁵ Let them be as the dust before the wind, and the angel of the LORD scattering them.

⁴ Thou art my King, O God; send help unto Jacob.

¹ {To the Chanter, a Psalm and song of David} Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered; let them also that hate him flee before him. ² Like as the smoke vanisheth, so shalt thou drive them away; and like as wax melteth at the fire, so shall the ungodly perish at the presence of God.

¹¹ Why withdrawest thou thy hand? Why pluckest thou not thy righthand out of thy bosom, to consume thy enemies? ¹² But God is my King of old; the help that is done upon earth, he doeth it himself.

¹² Woe be to the multitude of much people, which shall make a sound like the noise of the sea; and the violence of the nations which shall rage like the rushing in of many waters. ¹³ Even like many waters shall the people rage: God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and vanish away like the dust with the wind upon a hill, and as the whirlwind through a storm. ¹⁴ At even, behold, there is trouble: yet in the morning it is gone with them. This is the portion of them that oppress us, and the heritage of them that rob us.

²⁴ so that they be not planted, nor sown again, neither their stock rooted again in the earth? For as soon as he bloweth upon them, they wither and fade away, like the straw in a whirlwind.

² Who raiseth up the just from the rising of the Sun, and calleth him to go forth? Who casteth down the people, and subdueth the kings before him: that he may throw them all to the ground with his sword, and scatter them like stubble with his bow?

²⁴ Therefore will I scatter you, like as the stubble that is taken away with the south wind.

¹² Which hath also his fan in his hand, and will purge his floor, and gather the wheat into His garner; and will burn the chaff with unquenchable fire."

²² For fire is kindled in my wrath: and shall burn unto the bottom of hell; and shall consume the earth with her increase; and set afire the bottoms of the mountains.

¹⁸ For the ungodly burn, as a fire in the briers and thorns: And as it were out of a fire in a wood or a red bush, so ascendeth the smoke of their pride.

³³ For the fire of pain is ordained from the beginning: yea, even for kings it is prepared. This hath the LORD set in the deep, and made it wide: the burning whereof is fire and much wood. The breath of the LORD, which is a river of brimstone, doth kindle it.

¹¹ Ye shall conceive stubble, and bear straw, and your spirit shall be the fire, that it may consume you. ¹² And the people shall be burnt like lime, and as thorns burn that are hewn off, and cast in the fire."

¹ O that thou wouldest cleave the heaven in sunder, and come down: that the mountains might melt away at thy presence, ² like as at a hot fire; that the malicious might boil away, as the water doth upon the fire. Whereby thy name might be known among thine enemies, and that the Gentiles might tremble before thee.

⁴⁷ and say to the wood toward the south, 'Hear the word of the LORD, thus sayeth the LORD God: Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, that shall consume thee green trees with the dry. No man shall be able to quench his flame, but all that looketh from the south to the north shall be burnt therein. ⁴⁸ And all flesh shall see, that I the LORD have kindled it, so that no man may quench it.'"

⁶ Who may endure before his wrath? Or who is able to abide his grim displeasure? His anger taketh on like fire, and the hard rocks burst in sunder before him.

¹⁰ For like as the thorns that stick together, and as the dry straw, so shall the drunkards be consumed together, even when they be full.

¹ For mark, the day cometh that shall burn as an oven: and all the proud, yea and all such as do wickedness, shall be straw: and the day that is for to come, shall burn them up, sayeth the LORD of Hosts, so that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

¹⁷ He troubleth me so with the tempest, and woundeth me out of measure without a cause.

²⁰ Destruction taketh hold upon him as a water flood, and the tempest stealeth him away in the night season. ²¹ A vehement wind carrieth him hence, and departeth: a storm plucketh him out of his place. ²² It rusheth in upon him, and spareth him not, he may not escape from the power thereof. ²³ Then clap men their hands at him, yea and jest of him, when they look upon his place.

⁶ Upon the ungodly he shall rain snares, fire, brimstone, storm and tempest: this shall be their portion to drink.

⁹ As a green thorn kindled with fire goeth out before your pots be made hot; even so, let a furious rage bring him to nought.

¹⁷ Righteousness will I set up again in the balance, and judgment in the weights. The tempest of hail shall take away your refuge, that ye have to deceive withal: and the overflowing waters shall break down your strongholds of dissimulation."

³⁰ The LORD also shall set up the power of his voice, and declare his terrible arm, with his angry countenance; yea, and the flame of the consuming fire, with earthquake, tempest of wind, and hailstones.

¹¹ Therefore tell them which daub it with untempered mortar, that it shall fall. For there shall come a great shower of rain, great stones shall fall upon it, and a sore storm of wind shall break it. ¹² So shall the wall come down. Shall it not then be said unto you, 'Where is now the mortar, that ye daubed it withal?' ¹³ Therefore, thus sayeth the LORD God: I will break out in my wrathful displeasure with a stormy wind, so that in mine anger there shall come a mighty shower of rain and hailstones in my wrath, to destroy withal. ¹⁴ As for the wall that ye have daubed with untempered mortar, I will break it down: make it even with the ground, so the foundation thereof shall remove, and it shall fall. Yea, and ye yourselves shall perish in the midst thereof: to learn you for to know, that I am the LORD.

²⁷ And abundance of rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

¹⁸ For ye are not come unto the mount that can be touched, and unto burning fire, nor yet to mist and darkness and tempest of weather,

¹⁵ If I have done wickedly, woe is me therefore. If I have done righteously, yet dare I not lift up my head; so full am I of confusion, and see mine own misery.

¹⁰ All mine enemies shall be confounded and sore vexed; they shall be turned back and put to shame suddenly.

¹⁹ Arise, LORD, and let no man have the upper hand; let the Heathen be judged in thy sight. ²⁰ O LORD, put a schoolmaster over them, that the Heathen may know themselves to be but men. Selah.

⁵ They had an eye unto him, and were lightened; and their faces were not ashamed.

²⁹ Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame; and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a cloak.

¹⁸ As for his enemies, I shall clothe them with shame; but upon himself shall his crown flourish."

⁴ Let them be confounded, and put to shame, that seek after my soul; let them be turned back and brought to confusion, that imagine mischief for me.

²⁶ Let them be put to confusion and shame together, that rejoice at my trouble: let them be clothed with rebuke and dishonour, that boast themselves against me.

¹⁴ Let them be ashamed and confounded together, that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward, and put to rebuke, that wish me evil. ¹⁵ Let them be desolate, and rewarded with shame, that say unto me, "There! There!"

¹⁴ And Abraham called the name of the place, "The LORD will see." Wherefore it is a common saying this day, "In the mount will the LORD be seen."

³ and I appeared unto Abraham, Isaac and Jacob an Almighty God: but in my name Jehovah was I not known unto them.

³⁷ Hear me, O LORD; hear me, that this people may know, that thou LORD, art the God, and that thou hast turned their hearts backward."

¹⁹ Now therefore LORD our God, save thou us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know, that thou LORD art God alone."

² I will be glad and rejoice in thee; yea, my songs will I make of thy name, O thou most highest.

¹⁶ The LORD is known to execute judgment; the ungodly is trapped in the work of his own hands. Selah.

¹³ The LORD also thundered out of the heaven, and the highest gave his thunder, with hailstones and coals of fire. {TYNDALE: The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most high put out his voice.}

¹³ Consume them in thy wrath; consume them that they may perish, and know that it is God which ruleth in Jacob and in all the world. Selah.

⁸ But thou, LORD, art the most highest for evermore.

⁹ For thou, LORD, art higher than all that are in the earth; thou art exalted far above all gods.

¹⁶ But the LORD of Hosts, that holy God: shall be exalted and untouched, when he shall declare his equity and righteousness after this manner.

⁸ Even I am the LORD, and this is my name: and my glory will I give to none other, neither mine honour to graven images.

⁵ For he that made thee, shall be thy LORD and husband, whose name is the LORD of Hosts: and thine avenger shall be even the holy one of Israel, the LORD of the whole world.

²¹ "And therefore I will once teach them, sayeth the LORD, I will show them my hand and my power, that they may know, that my name is the LORD."

¹⁹ Thus will I punish Egypt, that they may know how that I am the LORD."

²³ Thus will I be magnified, honored, and known among the Heathen: that they may be sure how that I am the LORD.'"

²⁵ Thou shalt be cast out from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: with grass shalt thou be fed like an ox. Thou must be wet with the dew of the heaven: yea, seven years shall come and go upon thee, till thou know that the highest hath power upon the kingdoms of men, and giveth them to whom he list.

³² Thou shalt be cast out of men's company: thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, so that thou shalt eat grass like as an ox, till seven years be come and gone over thee: even until thou knowest, that the highest hath power upon the kingdoms of men, and that he may give them, unto whom it pleaseth him.'"

¹³ Therefore get thee up, O thou daughter Zion, and thresh out the corn. For I will make thy horn iron. and thy claws brass, that thou mayest grind many people: their goods shalt thou appropriate unto the LORD, and their substance unto the ruler of the whole world. ¹⁴ Then said he, 'These are the two olive branches that stand before the ruler of the whole earth.'
