Prophet Deb'orah
Judges:
chapter 4
4: Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapp'idoth, was judging Israel
at that time.
5: She used to sit under the palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in
the hill country of E'phraim; and the people of Israel came up to her for
judgment.
6: She sent and summoned Barak the son of Abin'o-am from Kedesh in
Naph'tali, and said to him, "The Yahweh, the God of Israel, commands you,
`Go, gather your men at Mount Tabor, taking ten thousand from the tribe of
Naph'tali and the tribe of Zeb'ulun.
7: And I will draw out Sis'era, the general of Jabin's army, to meet you
by the river Kishon with his chariots and his troops; and I will give him into
your hand.'"
8: Barak said to her, "If you will go with me, I will go; but if you
will not go with me, I will not go."
9: And she said, "I will surely go with you; nevertheless, the road
on which you are going will not lead to your glory, for the Yahweh will sell
Sis'era into the hand of a woman." Then Deborah arose, and went with Barak
to Kedesh.
10: And Barak summoned Zeb'ulun and Naph'tali to Kedesh; and ten thousand
men went up at his heels; and Deborah went up with him.
11: Now Heber the Ken'ite had separated from the Ken'ites, the
descendants of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent as far
away as the oak in Za-anan'nim, which is near Kedesh.
12: When Sis'era was told that Barak the son of Abin'o-am had gone up to
Mount Tabor,
13: Sis'era called out all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron,
and all the men who were with him, from Haro'sheth-ha-goiim to the river Kishon.
14: And Deborah said to Barak, "Up! For this is the day in which the
Yahweh has given Sis'era into your hand. Does not the Yahweh go out before
you?" So Barak went down from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men following
him.
15: And the Yahweh routed Sis'era and all his chariots and all his army
before Barak at the edge of the sword; and Sis'era alighted from his chariot and
fled away on foot.
16: And Barak pursued the chariots and the army to Haro'sheth-ha-goiim,
and all the army of Sis'era fell by the edge of the sword; not a man was left.
17: But Sis'era fled away on foot to the tent of Ja'el, the wife of Heber
the Ken'ite; for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house
of Heber the Ken'ite.
18: And Ja'el came out to meet Sis'era, and said to him, "Turn
aside, my Yahweh, turn aside to me; have no fear." So he turned aside to
her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug.
19: And he said to her, "Pray, give me a little water to drink; for
I am thirsty." So she opened a skin of milk and gave him a drink and
covered him.
20: And he said to her, "Stand at the door of the tent, and if any
man comes and asks you, `Is any one here?' say, No."
21: But Ja'el the wife of Heber took a tent peg, and took a hammer in her
hand, and went softly to him and drove the peg into his temple, till it went
down into the ground, as he was lying fast asleep from weariness. So he died.
22: And behold, as Barak pursued Sis'era, Ja'el went out to meet him, and
said to him, "Come, and I will show you the man whom you are seeking."
So he went in to her tent; and there lay Sis'era dead, with the tent peg in his
temple.
23: So on that day God subdued Jabin the king of Canaan before the people
of Israel.
24: And the hand of the people of Israel bore harder and harder on Jabin
the king of Canaan, until they destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.
Judges: chapter 5
1: Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abin'o-am on that day:
2: "That the leaders took the lead in Israel,
that the people offered themselves willingly,
bless the Yahweh!
3: "Hear, O kings; give ear, O princes;
to the Yahweh I will sing,
I will make melody to the Yahweh, the God of Israel.
4: "Yahweh, when thou didst go forth from Se'ir,
when thou didst march from the region of Edom,
the earth trembled,
and the heavens dropped,
yea, the clouds dropped water.
5: The mountains quaked before the Yahweh,
yon Sinai before the Yahweh, the God of Israel.
6: "In the days of Shamgar, son of Anath,
in the days of Ja'el, caravans ceased
and travelers kept to the byways.
7: The peasantry ceased in Israel, they ceased
until you arose, Deborah,
arose as a mother in Israel.
8: When new gods were chosen,
then war was in the gates.
Was shield or spear to be seen
among forty thousand in Israel?
9: My heart goes out to the commanders of Israel
who offered themselves willingly among the people.
Bless the Yahweh.
10: "Tell of it, you who ride on tawny asses,
you who sit on rich carpets
and you who walk by the way.
11: To the sound of musicians at the watering places,
there they repeat the triumphs of the Yahweh,
the triumphs of his peasantry in Israel.
"Then down to the gates marched the people of the Yahweh.
12: "Awake, awake, Deborah!
Awake, awake, utter a song!
Arise, Barak, lead away your captives,
O son of Abin'o-am.
13: Then down marched the remnant of the noble;
the people of the Yahweh marched down for him against the mighty.
14: From E'phraim they set out thither into the valley,
following you, Benjamin, with your kinsmen;
from Machir marched down the commanders,
and from Zeb'ulun those who bear the marshal's staff;
15: the princes of Is'sachar came with Deborah,
and Is'sachar faithful to Barak;
into the valley they rushed forth at his heels.
Among the clans of Reuben
there were great searchings of heart.
