1The Israelites were back at it again, doing sus stuff in front of the Lord after Ehud passed away.

2So God was like, "Bet," and let Jabin, the king of Canaan, flex on them from Hazor; his main dude was Sisera, chilling in Harosheth with the squad.

3The Israelites cried out to the Lord 'cause Sisera had like 900 iron chariots and was seriously oppressing them for twenty years.

4Deborah, a prophetess and Lapidoth's wifey, was judging Israel at that time, keeping it real.

5She was vibing under Deborah's palm tree between Ramah and Beth-el in Ephraim, and the Israelites rolled up to her for some judgment.

6She hit up Barak, son of Abinoam, from Kedesh-naphtali, like, "Didn’t God tell you to head to mount Tabor and grab ten thousand homies from Naphtali and Zebulun?"

7"I’ll lead Sisera, Jabin’s army captain, to the Kishon River with his chariots and crew, and I’ll hand him over to you."

8Barak was like, "If you roll with me, I’m in; if not, I’m staying put."

9She replied, "I’m totally coming with you, but just know this journey won't be your glow-up; God’s gonna hand Sisera over to a woman." Then Deborah got up and went with Barak to Kedesh.

10Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh, and he rolled up with ten thousand men at his feet, while Deborah went up with him.

11Heber the Kenite, from Hobab’s fam (Moses' father-in-law), was doing his own thing, pitching his tent in the plain of Zaanaim near Kedesh.

12They told Sisera that Barak, son of Abinoam, had gone up to mount Tabor.

13Sisera gathered all his chariots, like 900 iron ones, and his crew from Harosheth to the Kishon River.

14Deborah told Barak, "Time to pop off; today’s the day the Lord hands Sisera to you. Didn’t God go ahead of you?" So Barak rolled down from mount Tabor with ten thousand men following him.

15The Lord totally wrecked Sisera and all his chariots before Barak, so Sisera jumped off his ride and dipped on foot.

16Barak chased after the chariots and the crew to Harosheth, and Sisera's entire squad fell by the sword; no one was left standing.

17Sisera ran on foot to Jael’s tent, Heber’s wife, 'cause there was peace between Jabin and Heber’s fam.

18Jael met Sisera and was like, "Come in, my dude, don’t be scared." Once he was inside, she threw a blanket over him.

19He asked her for some water, saying he was thirsty, and she gave him milk and covered him up.

20He told her, "Stand at the tent door, and if anyone asks if there’s a man here, just say no."

21Then Jael took a tent peg and a hammer, snuck up on him while he was dead asleep, and smashed the peg into his temples, fastening it to the ground. Dude was out cold.

22While Barak was still chasing Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, saying, "Come check out the dude you’re looking for." When he entered her tent, Sisera was dead, and the peg was in his head.

23So God straight-up humbled Jabin, the king of Canaan, that day before the Israelites.

24The Israelites were thriving, defeating Jabin, the king of Canaan, until they wiped him out completely.

1And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord, when Ehud was dead.

2And the Lord sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, which dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles.

3And the children of Israel cried unto the Lord: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.

4And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.

5And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Beth–el in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.

6And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh–naphtali, and said unto him, Hath not the Lord God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?

7And I will draw unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thine hand.

8And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go.

9And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honour; for the Lord shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.

10And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and he went up with ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with him.

11Now Heber the Kenite, which was of the children of Hobab the father in law of Moses, had severed himself from the Kenites, and pitched his tent unto the plain of Zaanaim, which is by Kedesh.

12And they shewed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to mount Tabor.

13And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles unto the river of Kishon.

14And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this is the day in which the Lord hath delivered Sisera into thine hand: is not the Lord gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.

15And the Lord discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that Sisera lighted down off his chariot, and fled away on his feet.

16But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the host, unto Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the host of Sisera fell upon the edge of the sword; and there was not a man left.

17Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite: for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.

18And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in unto her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle.

19And he said unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink; for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him.

20Again he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and enquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No.

21Then Jael Heber’s wife took a nail of the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died.

22And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said unto him, Come, and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his temples.

23So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.

24And the hand of the children of Israel prospered, and prevailed against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.
