    4Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel at that time.

    5She would sit under the Palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites came up to her for judgment.

    6She summoned Barak son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali and said to him, "Has not the LORD, the God of Israel, commanded you: 'Go, lead ten thousand men from Naphtali and Zebulun to Mount Tabor'"?

    7"I will draw Sisera, the commander of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his horde to the Kishon River and deliver him into your hand."

    8Barak said to her, "If you will go with me, I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go."

    9She said, "I will certainly go with you. However, the honor will not be yours on the journey you are about to take, for the LORD will deliver Sisera into the hands of a woman." So Deborah arose and went with Barak to Kedesh.

    10Barak summoned Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh, and ten thousand men followed him on foot, and Deborah went up with him.

    11Meanwhile, Heber the Kenite had separated from the Kenites, the descendants of Hobab, the father-in-law of Moses, and pitched his tent near the great tree in Zaanannim, which is beside Kedesh.

    12When Sisera was told that Barak son of Abinoam had gone up to Mount Tabor,

    13Sisera summoned all his chariots—nine hundred chariots made of iron—and all his troops who were with him, from Harosheth-hagoyim to the Kishon River.

    14Then Deborah said to Barak, "Get up! This is the day the LORD has delivered Sisera into your hand. Has not the LORD gone ahead of you?" So Barak went down from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men following him.

    15The LORD threw Sisera, all his chariots, and his entire army into confusion before Barak by the edge of the sword. Sisera got down from his chariot and fled on foot.

    16Barak pursued the chariots and the army to Harosheth-hagoyim, and the entire army of Sisera fell by the sword; not a single man was left.

    17Meanwhile, Sisera fled on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, because there was peace between Jabin, king of Hazor, and the family of Heber the Kenite.

    19He said to her, "Please give me a little water to drink, for I am thirsty." So she opened a skin of milk, gave him a drink, and covered him again.

    20He said to her, "Stand at the entrance to the tent. If anyone comes and asks you, 'Is there a man here?' say, 'No.'"

    21But Jael, the wife of Heber, picked up a tent peg and a hammer, and she went quietly to him while he lay fast asleep, exhausted. She drove the peg through his temple into the ground—and he died.

    22Just then, Barak came by in pursuit of Sisera, and Jael went out to meet him. She said, "Come, and I will show you the man you're looking for." So he went in with her, and there lay Sisera with the tent peg through his temple—dead.

    23On that day God subdued Jabin, the king of Canaan, before the Israelites.

    24Most blessed of women be Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, most blessed of tent-dwelling women.

    25He asked for water, and she gave him milk; in a bowl fit for nobles, she brought him curd.

    26She reached for the tent peg, her right hand for the workman's hammer. She struck Sisera, she crushed his head, she shattered and pierced his temple.

    27At her feet he sank, he fell, there he lay. At her feet he sank, he fell; where he sank, there he fell—dead.

    28Through the window peered Sisera's mother; behind the lattice she cried out, 'Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why is the clatter of his chariots delayed?'

    29Her wisest ladies answer her; indeed, she keeps saying to herself,

    30'Are they not finding and dividing the spoils: a girl or two for each man, colorful garments for Sisera, colorful garments embroidered, highly embroidered garments for my neck—all this as plunder?'
