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

    13he ordered all his chariotry– nine hundred chariots with iron-rimmed wheels– and all the troops he had with him to go from Harosheth Haggoyim to the River Kishon.

    14Deborah said to Barak,“Spring into action, for this is the day the LORD is handing Sisera over to you! Has the LORD not taken the lead?” So Barak went down from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men following him.

    15The LORD routed Sisera, all his chariotry, and all his army with the edge of the sword. Sisera jumped out of his chariot and ran away on foot.

    16Now Barak chased the chariots and the army all the way to Harosheth Haggoyim. Sisera’s whole army died by the edge of the sword; not even one survived!

    17Now Sisera ran away on foot to the tent of Jael, wife of Heber the Kenite, for King Jabin of Hazor and the family of Heber the Kenite had made a peace treaty.

    18Jael came out to welcome Sisera. She said to him,“Stop and rest, my lord. Stop and rest with me. Don’t be afraid.” So Sisera stopped to rest in her tent, and she put a blanket over him.

    19He said to her,“Give me a little water to drink, because I’m thirsty.” She opened a goatskin container of milk and gave him some milk to drink. Then she covered him up again.

    20He said to her,“Stand watch at the entrance to the tent. If anyone comes along and asks you,‘Is there a man here?’ say,‘No.’”

    21Then Jael wife of Heber took a tent peg in one hand and a hammer in the other. She crept up on him, drove the tent peg through his temple into the ground while he was asleep from exhaustion, and he died.

    22Now Barak was chasing Sisera. Jael went out to welcome him. She said to him,“Come here and I will show you the man you are searching for.” He went with her into the tent, and there he saw Sisera sprawled out dead with the tent peg in his temple.

    23That day God humiliated King Jabin of Canaan before the Israelites.

    24Israel’s power continued to overwhelm King Jabin of Canaan until they did away with him.
