And the LORDsoldtheminto the hand of Jabinking of Canaan, thatreigned in Hazor; the captain of whosehost was Sisera, whichdwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles.
And she sent and calledBarak the son of Abinoam out of Kedeshnaphtali, and saidunto him, Hath not the LORD God of Israelcommanded, saying, Go and drawtowardmountTabor, and takewiththee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?
And she said, I willsurely go withthee: notwithstanding the journeythatthoutakestshall not be for thinehonour; for the LORDshallsellSiserainto the hand of a woman. And Deboraharose, and wentwithBarak to Kedesh.
Now Heber the Kenite, which was of the children of Hobab the father in law of Moses, had severedhimselffrom the Kenites, and pitched his tentunto the plain of Zaanaim, which is by Kedesh.
And Siseragatheredtogether all his chariots, evenninehundredchariots of iron, and all the peoplethatwerewith him, fromHarosheth of the Gentilesunto the river of Kishon.
And DeborahsaiduntoBarak, Up; for this is the day in which the LORDhathdeliveredSiseraintothinehand: is not the LORDgone out beforethee? So BarakwentdownfrommountTabor, and ten thousand men after him.
And the LORDdiscomfitedSisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the swordbeforeBarak; so thatSiseralighteddown off his chariot, and fledaway on his feet.
But Barakpursuedafter the chariots, and after the host, untoHarosheth of the Gentiles: and all the host of Siserafellupon the edge of the sword; and there was not a man left.
HowbeitSiserafledaway on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite: for there was peacebetweenJabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.
And Jaelwent out to meetSisera, and saidunto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in unto her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle.
And he saidunto her, Give me, I praythee, a littlewater to drink; for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him.
Again he saidunto her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man dothcome and enquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? thatthoushalt say, No.
ThenJaelHeber’swifetook a nail of the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and wentsoftlyunto him, and smote the nailinto his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fastasleep and weary. So he died.
And, behold, as BarakpursuedSisera, Jaelcame out to meet him, and saidunto him, Come, and I willshewthee the man whomthouseekest. And when he cameinto her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his temples.
