003:029 They struck of Moab at that time about ten thousand men,
every lusty man, and every man of valor; and there escaped
not a man.
003:030 So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel.
The land had rest eighty years.
003:031 After him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who struck
of the Philistines six hundred men with an oxgoad:
and he also saved Israel.
004:001 The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight
of Yahweh, when Ehud was dead.
004:002 Yahweh sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan,
who reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose army was Sisera,
who lived in Harosheth of the Gentiles.
004:003 The children of Israel cried to Yahweh: for he had nine hundred
chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed
the children of Israel.
004:004 Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, she judged
Israel at that time.
004:005 She lived under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel
in the hill country of Ephraim: and the children of Israel
came up to her for judgment.
004:006 She sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of
Kedesh Naphtali, and said to him, Hasn't Yahweh, the God
of Israel, commanded, [saying], Go and draw to Mount Tabor,
and take with you ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali
and of the children of Zebulun?
004:007 I will draw to you, to the river Kishon, Sisera, the captain
of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude;
and I will deliver him into your hand.
004:008 Barak said to her, If you will go with me, then I will go;
but if you will not go with me, I will not go.
004:009 She said, I will surely go with you: notwithstanding, the journey
that you take shall not be for your honor; for Yahweh
will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. Deborah arose,
and went with Barak to Kedesh.
004:010 Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali together to Kedesh;
and there went up ten thousand men at his feet:
and Deborah went up with him.
004:011 Now Heber the Kenite had separated himself from the Kenites,
even from the children of Hobab the brother-in-law of Moses,
and had pitched his tent as far as the oak in Zaanannim,
which is by Kedesh.
004:012 They told Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up
to Mount Tabor.
004:013 Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred
chariots of iron, and all the people who were with him,
from Harosheth of the Gentiles, to the river Kishon.
004:014 Deborah said to Barak, Up; for this is the day in which Yahweh has
delivered Sisera into your hand; hasn't Yahweh gone out before you?
So Barak went down from Mount Tabor, and ten thousand
men after him.
004:015 Yahweh confused Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his army,
