with the edge of the sword before Barak; and Sisera alighted
from his chariot, and fled away on his feet.
004:016 But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the army,
to Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the army of Sisera
fell by the edge of the sword; there was not a man left.
004:017 However Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael
the wife of Heber the Kenite; for there was peace between Jabin
the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.
004:018 Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, Turn in, my lord,
turn in to me; don't be afraid. He came in to her into the tent,
and she covered him with a rug.
004:019 He said to her, Please give me a little water to drink;
for I am thirsty. She opened a bottle of milk, and gave
him drink, and covered him.
004:020 He said to her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be,
when any man does come and inquire of you, and say, Is there
any man here? that you shall say, No.
004:021 Then Jael Heber's wife took a tent peg, and took a hammer
in her hand, and went softly to him, and struck the pin
into his temples, and it pierced through into the ground;
for he was in a deep sleep; so he swooned and died.
004:022 Behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him,
and said to him, Come, and I will show you the man whom you seek.
He came to her; and behold, Sisera lay dead, and the tent
peg was in his temples.
004:023 So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before
the children of Israel.
004:024 The hand of the children of Israel prevailed more and more
against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed
Jabin king of Canaan.
005:001 Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying,
005:002 Because the leaders took the lead in Israel, because the people
offered themselves willingly, be blessed, Yahweh!
005:003 Hear, you kings! Give ear, you princes! I, [even] I,
will sing to Yahweh. I will sing praise to Yahweh,
the God of Israel.
005:004 Yahweh, when you went forth out of Seir, when you marched out
of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, the sky also dropped.
Yes, the clouds dropped water.
005:005 The mountains quaked at the presence of Yahweh, even Sinai,
at the presence of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
005:006 In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael,
the highways were unoccupied. The travelers walked through byways.
005:007 The rulers ceased in Israel. They ceased until I, Deborah, arose;
Until I arose a mother in Israel.
005:008 They chose new gods. Then war was in the gates. Was there
a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
005:009 My heart is toward the governors of Israel, who offered
themselves willingly among the people. Bless Yahweh!
