Sisera, the commander of Jabin’s army, lived in Harosheth-Ha-Goiim. 3 Jabin’s army had 900 iron chariots, and for 20 years he made life miserable for the Israelites, until finally they begged the Lordfor help.
4 Deborahthe wife of Lappidothwas a prophet and a leader4.4 leader: See 2.16 and the note there.of Israel during those days. 5 She would sit under Deborah’s Palm Tree between Ramahand Bethelin the hill country of Ephraim, where Israelites would come and ask her to settle their legal cases.
6 One day, Barakthe son of Abinoamwas in Kedesh in Naphtali, and Deborah sent word for him to come and talk with her. When he arrived, she said:
I have a message for you from the LordGod of Israel! You are to get together an army of 10,000 men from the Naphtaliand Zebuluntribes and lead them to Mount Tabor. 7 The Lordwill trick Siserainto coming out to fight you at the Kishon River. Siserawill be leading King Jabin’s army as usual, and they will have their chariots, but the Lordhas promised to help you defeat them.
8 "I’m not going unless you go!" Baraktold her.
9 "All right, I’ll go!" she replied. "But I’m warning you that the Lordis going to let a woman defeat Sisera, and no one will honor you for winning the battle."
Deborahand Barakleft for Kedesh, 10 where Barakcalled together the troops from Zebulun and Naphtali. Ten thousand soldiers gathered there, and Barakled them out from Kedesh. Deborahwent too.
11 At this time, Heberof the Kenite clan was living near the village of Oak in Zaanannim,4.11 the village … Zaanannim: Or "the oak tree in the town of Zaanannim."not far from Kedesh. The Kenites were descendants of Hobab, the father-in-law of Moses, but Heberhad moved and had set up his tents away from the rest of the clan.
12 When Siseralearned that Barakhad led an army to Mount Tabor, 13 he called his troops together and got all 900 iron chariots ready. Then he led his army away from Harosheth-Ha-Goiim to the Kishon River.
14 Deborahshouted, "Barak, it’s time to attack Sisera! Because today the Lordis going to help you defeat him. In fact, the Lordhas already gone on ahead to fight for you."
Barakled his 10,000 troops down from Mount Tabor. 15 And during the battle, the Lordconfused Sisera, his chariot drivers, and his whole army. Everyone was so afraid of Barakand his army, that even Siserajumped down from his chariot and tried to escape. 16 Barak’s forces went after Sisera’s chariots and army as far as Harosheth-Ha-Goiim.
Sisera’s entire army was wiped out. 17 Only Siseraescaped. He ran to Heber’s camp, because Heberand his family had a peace treaty with the king of Hazor. Siserawent to the tent that belonged to Jael, Heber’s wife. 18 She came out to greet him and said, "Come in, sir! Please come on in. Don’t be afraid."
After they had gone inside, Siseralay down, and Jaelcovered him with a blanket. 19 "Could I have a little water?" he asked. "I’m thirsty."
Jael opened a leather bottle and poured him some milk, then she covered him back up.
20 "Stand at the entrance to the tent," Sisera told her. "If someone comes by and asks if anyone is inside, tell them ‘No.’ "
21 Sisera was exhausted and soon fell fast asleep. Jaeltook a hammer and drove a tent-peg through his head into the ground, and he died.
22 Meanwhile, Barakhad been following Sisera, and Jaelwent out to meet him. "The man you’re looking for is inside," she said. "Come in and I’ll show him to you."
They went inside, and there was Sisera—dead and stretched out with a tent-peg through his skull.
23 That same day God defeated the CanaaniteKing Jabinwhile the Israelites looked on, and his army was no longer powerful enough to attack the Israelites. 24 Jabingrew weaker while the Israelites kept growing stronger, until at last the Israelites destroyed him.
