  • Judg 4:3-9 : 3 And the children of Israel cried to the LORD, for Sisera had nine hundred chariots of iron, and for twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel. 4 Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, was judging Israel at that time. 5 And she sat 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. 6 And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali, and said to him, Has not the LORD God of Israel commanded, saying, Go, and lead the way to Mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun? 7 And I will draw Sisera, the commander of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude, to you at the river Kishon, and I will deliver him into your hand. 8 And Barak said to her, If you will go with me, then I will go; but if you will not go with me, then I will not go. 9 And she said, I will surely go with you; nevertheless the journey that you take shall not be for your glory, for the LORD will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. So Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh. 10 And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and he went up with ten thousand men at his feet, and Deborah went up with him. 11 Now Heber the Kenite, of the children of Hobab, the father-in-law of Moses, had separated himself from the Kenites, and pitched his tent by the great tree in Zaanaim, which is near Kedesh. 12 And they told Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam had gone up to Mount Tabor. 13 And 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. 14 And Deborah said to Barak, Arise; for this is the day in which the LORD has delivered Sisera into your hand. Is not the LORD gone out before you? So Barak went down from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men following him. 15 And the LORD routed Sisera and all his chariots and all his army with the edge of the sword before Barak, so that Sisera got down from his chariot and fled away on foot. 16 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; and there was not a man left. 17 However, Sisera fled away on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, for there was peace between Jabin king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite. 18 And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; do not fear. And when he had turned in to her into the tent, she covered him with a blanket. 19 And he said to her, Please give me a little water to drink, for I am thirsty. So she opened a jug of milk and gave him a drink, and covered him. 20 Then he said to her, Stand in the door of the tent, and if anyone comes and asks you, Is there a man here? you shall say, No. 21 Then Jael, Heber's wife, took a tent peg and a hammer in her hand, went softly to him, and drove the peg into his temples, and it went down into the ground, for he was fast asleep and exhausted. So he died. 22 And 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. And when he came into her tent, there lay Sisera dead, with the peg in his temples. 23 So God subdued Jabin king of Canaan on that day before the children of Israel. 24 And the hand of the children of Israel pressed harder and harder against Jabin king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.

  • Judg 11:4-9 : 4 And it came to pass, in the process of time, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel. 5 And it happened, when the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob: 6 And they said to Jephthah, Come and be our captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon. 7 And Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, Did you not hate me, and expel me out of my father's house? Why have you come to me now when you are in distress? 8 And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, Therefore we return to you now, that you may go with us, and fight against the children of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead. 9 And Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, If you bring me home again to fight against the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivers them before me, shall I be your head? 10 And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, The LORD be witness between us, if we do not do according to your words. 11 Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and captain over them: and Jephthah spoke all his words before the LORD in Mizpeh. 12 And Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What have you to do with me, that you have come against me to fight in my land? 13 And the king of the children of Ammon answered the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land, when they came up out of Egypt, from Arnon even to Jabbok, and to Jordan: now therefore restore those lands peacefully. 14 And Jephthah sent messengers again to the king of the children of Ammon: 15 And said to him, Thus says Jephthah, Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon: 16 But when Israel came up from Egypt, and walked through the wilderness to the Red Sea, and came to Kadesh; 17 Then Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray you, pass through your land: but the king of Edom would not listen. And in like manner they sent to the king of Moab: but he would not consent: and Israel stayed in Kadesh. 18 Then they went through the wilderness, and bypassed the land of Edom and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and camped on the other side of Arnon, but did not enter the border of Moab: for Arnon was the border of Moab. 19 And Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said to him, Let us pass, we pray you, through your land to my place. 20 But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his territory: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and camped in Jahaz, and fought against Israel. 21 And the LORD God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they defeated them: so Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country. 22 And they possessed all the borders of the Amorites, from Arnon even to Jabbok, and from the wilderness even to Jordan. 23 So now the LORD God of Israel has dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and should you possess it? 24 Will you not possess that which Chemosh your god gives you to possess? So whoever the LORD our God drives out from before us, them will we possess. 25 And now, are you any better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them, 26 While Israel lived in Heshbon and her towns, and in Aroer and her towns, and in all the cities that are along the coasts of Arnon, three hundred years? Why did you not recover them within that time? 27 Therefore I have not sinned against you, but you do wrong to war against me: let the LORD the Judge be judge this day between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon. 28 However, the king of the children of Ammon did not listen to the words of Jephthah which he sent him. 29 Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he advanced towards the children of Ammon. 30 And Jephthah vowed a vow to the LORD, and said, If you will indeed deliver the children of Ammon into my hands, 31 Then it shall be, that whatever comes out of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD'S, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering. 32 So Jephthah advanced towards the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hands. 33 And he struck them from Aroer until you come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and to the plain of the vineyards, with a very great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel.
