4:1 And the children 1121 of Israel 3478 again 3254 8686 did 6213 8800 evil 7451 in the sight 5869 of the LORD 3068, when Ehud 164 was dead 4191 8804.

4:2 And the LORD 3068 sold 4376 8799 them into the hand 3027 of Jabin 2985 king 4428 of Canaan 3667, that reigned 4427 8804 in Hazor 2674; the captain 8269 of whose host 6635 [was] Sisera 5516, which dwelt 3427 8802 in Harosheth 2800 of the Gentiles 1471.

4:3 And the children 1121 of Israel 3478 cried 6817 8799 unto the LORD 3068: for he had nine 8672 hundred 3967 chariots 7393 of iron 1270; and twenty 6242 years 8141 he mightily 2394 oppressed 3905 8804 the children 1121 of Israel 3478.

4:4 And Deborah 1683, a prophetess 5031, the wife 802 of Lapidoth 3941, she judged 8199 8802 Israel 3478 at that time 6256.

4:5 And she dwelt 3427 8802 under the palm tree 8560 of Deborah 1683 between Ramah 7414 and Bethel 1008 in mount 2022 Ephraim 669: and the children 1121 of Israel 3478 came up 5927 8799 to her for judgment 4941.

4:6 And she sent 7971 8799 and called 7121 8799 Barak 1301 the son 1121 of Abinoam 42 out of Kedeshnaphtali 6943, and said 559 8799 unto him, Hath not the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel 3478 commanded 6680 8765, [saying], Go 3212 8798 and draw 4900 8804 toward mount 2022 Tabor 8396, and take 3947 8804 with thee ten 6235 thousand 505 men 376 of the children 1121 of Naphtali 5321 and of the children 1121 of Zebulun 2074?

4:7 And I will draw 4900 8804 unto thee to the river 5158 Kishon 7028 Sisera 5516, the captain 8269 of Jabin's 2985 army 6635, with his chariots 7393 and his multitude 1995; and I will deliver 5414 8804 him into thine hand 3027.

4:8 And Barak 1301 said 559 8799 unto her, If thou wilt go 3212 8799 with me, then I will go 1980 8804: but if thou wilt not go 3212 8799 with me, [then] I will not go 3212 8799.

4:9 And she said 559 8799, I will surely 1980 8800 go 3212 8799 with thee: notwithstanding 657 the journey 1870 that thou takest 1980 8802 shall not be for thine honour 8597; for the LORD 3068 shall sell 4376 8799 Sisera 5516 into the hand 3027 of a woman 802. And Deborah 1683 arose 6965 8799, and went 3212 8799 with Barak 1301 to Kedesh 6943.

4:10 And Barak 1301 called 2199 8686 Zebulun 2074 and Naphtali 5321 to Kedesh 6943; and he went up 5927 8799 with ten 6235 thousand 505 men 376 at his feet 7272: and Deborah 1683 went up 5927 8799 with him.

4:11 Now Heber 2268 the Kenite 7017, [which was] of the children 1121 of Hobab 2246 the father in law 2859 8802 of Moses 4872, had severed 6504 8737 himself from the Kenites 7017, and pitched 5186 8799 his tent 168 unto the plain 436 of Zaanaim 6815, which [is] by Kedesh 6943.

4:12 And they shewed 5046 8686 Sisera 5516 that Barak 1301 the son 1121 of Abinoam 42 was gone up 5927 8804 to mount 2022 Tabor 8396.

4:13 And Sisera 5516 gathered together 2199 8686 all his chariots 7393, [even] nine 8672 hundred 3967 chariots 7393 of iron 1270, and all the people 5971 that [were] with him, from Harosheth 2800 of the Gentiles 1471 unto the river 5158 of Kishon 7028.(together: Heb. by cry, or, proclamation)

4:14 And Deborah 1683 said 559 8799 unto Barak 1301, Up 6965 8798; for this [is] the day 3117 in which the LORD 3068 hath delivered 5414 8804 Sisera 5516 into thine hand 3027: is not the LORD 3068 gone out 3318 8804 before 6440 thee? So Barak 1301 went down 3381 8799 from mount 2022 Tabor 8396, and ten 6235 thousand 505 men 376 after 310 him.

4:15 And the LORD 3068 discomfited 2000 8799 Sisera 5516, and all [his] chariots 7393, and all [his] host 4264, with the edge 6310 of the sword 2719 before 6440 Barak 1301; so that Sisera 5516 lighted down 3381 8799 off [his] chariot 4818, and fled away 5127 8799 on his feet 7272.

4:16 But Barak 1301 pursued 7291 8804 after 310 the chariots 7393, and after the host 4264, unto Harosheth 2800 of the Gentiles 1471: and all the host 4264 of Sisera 5516 fell 5307 8799 upon the edge 6310 of the sword 2719; [and] there was not a man 259 left 7604 8738.(a man: Heb. unto one)

4:17 Howbeit Sisera 5516 fled away 5127 8804 on his feet 7272 to the tent 168 of Jael 3278 the wife 802 of Heber 2268 the Kenite 7017: for [there was] peace 7965 between Jabin 2985 the king 4428 of Hazor 2674 and the house 1004 of Heber 2268 the Kenite 7017.

4:18 And Jael 3278 went out 3318 8799 to meet 7125 8800 Sisera 5516, and said 559 8799 unto him, Turn in 5493 8798, my lord 113, turn in 5493 8798 to me; fear 3372 8799 not. And when he had turned in 5493 8799 unto her into the tent 168, she covered 3680 8762 him with a mantle 8063.(mantle: or, rug, or, blanket)

4:19 And he said 559 8799 unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a little 4592 water 4325 to drink 8248 8685; for I am thirsty 6770 8804. And she opened 6605 8799 a bottle 4997 of milk 2461, and gave him drink 8248 8686, and covered 3680 8762 him.

4:20 Again he said 559 8799 unto her, Stand in 5975 8798 the door 6607 of the tent 168, and it shall be, when any man 376 doth come 935 8799 and enquire 7592 8804 of thee, and say 559 8804, Is there 3426 0 any man 376 here 3426? that thou shalt say 559 8804, No.

4:21 Then Jael 3278 Heber's 2268 wife 802 took 3947 8799 a nail 3489 of the tent 168, and took 7760 8799 an hammer 4718 in her hand 3027, and went 935 8799 softly 3814 unto him, and smote 8628 8799 the nail 3489 into his temples 7541, and fastened 6795 8799 it into the ground 776: for he was fast asleep 7290 8738 and weary 5774 8799. So he died 4191 8799.(and took: Heb. and put)

4:22 And, behold, as Barak 1301 pursued 7291 8802 Sisera 5516, Jael 3278 came out 3318 8799 to meet 7125 8800 him, and said 559 8799 unto him, Come 3212 8798, and I will shew 7200 8686 thee the man 376 whom thou seekest 1245 8764. And when he came 935 8799 into her [tent], behold, Sisera 5516 lay 5307 8802 dead 4191 8801, and the nail 3489 [was] in his temples 7541.

4:23 So God 430 subdued 3665 8686 on that day 3117 Jabin 2985 the king 4428 of Canaan 3667 before 6440 the children 1121 of Israel 3478.

4:24 And the hand 3027 of the children 1121 of Israel 3478 prospered 3212 8799 1980 8800, and prevailed 7186 against Jabin 2985 the king 4428 of Canaan 3667, until they had destroyed 3772 8689 Jabin 2985 king 4428 of Canaan 3667.(prospered…: Heb. going went and was hard)
