CHAP. IIII.

1 Israél sinne and are giuen into the hands of Iabie. 4 De boráh iudgeth Israél and exhorteth Barak to deliuer the people. 15 Sisera fleeth. 17 And is killed by Iaél,

1 ANd the children of Israél” 1.1 began agai∣ne to do wickedly in the sight of the Lord when 〈◊〉〈◊〉 was dead.

2 And the Lord solde them into the hand ofa 1.2 Iabin King of Canáan, that reigned in Ha∣zôr, whose chief captaine (was called) Siserá, which dwelt inb 1.3 Haro shéth of the Gētiles.

3 Then the children of Israél cryed vnto the Lord: [for he had nine hundreth charets of yron, & twentie yeres he had vexed the chil∣dren of Israél very sore]

4 ¶ And at that time Deboráh a Prophetesse the wife of Lapidôthc 1.4 iudged Israél.

5 And this Deboráh dwelt vnder a palme tre, betwene Ramáh & Beth-él in mount Ephrá∣im, and the children of Israél came vp to her foriudgement.

6 Then she sent and called Baráh the sonne of Abinóam out of Kédesh of Naphtali, ād said vnto him, Hathe not the Lord God of Israéld 1.5 commanded, (saying,) Go, & drawe toward moūt Tabor, and take with thee ten thousād men of the children of Naphtali and of chil∣dren of Zebulún?

7 And I wil drawe vnto thee to the *“ 1.6 riuer* 1.7 Kishón Siserá, the captaine of Iabins armie with his charets, and his multitude, and wil deliuer him into thine hand.

8 And Barák said vnto her,e 1.8 If thou wilt go with me, I wil go: but if thou wilt not go with me, I wil not go.

9 Then she answered, I wil surely go with thee but this iourney that thou takest, shal not be for thine honour: for the Lord shal sel Siserá into the hand of a woman. And Deboráh a∣rose and went with Barák to Kédesh.

10 ¶ And Barák called Zebulún and Naphtali to Kédesh, and“ 1.9 he went vp on his fete with ten thousand men, and Deboráh went vp with him.

11 [Now Héber the Kenite, which was of the“ 1.10 children of * Hobáb the father in law of Mosés, was departed from the" Kenites, and pitched his tentf 1.11 vntil the plaine of Zaanaim which is by Kédesh]

12 Thē they she wed Siserá, that Barák the sōne of Abinóam was gone vp to mount Tabór.

13 And Siserá called for all is charets, (euen) ni∣ne hundreth charets of yron, and all the peo∣ple that were with him frō Haroshéth of the Gentiles, vnto the riuer Kishôn.

14 Then Deboráh said vnto Barák,g 1.12 Vp: for this is the day that the Lord hathe deliuered Sisera into thine hand. Is not the Lord gone out before thee? so Barák went downe from mount Tabôr, and ten thousand men after him.

15 And the Lord destroyed Siserá and all his charets, and all his hoste with the edge of the sworde, before Barák, so that Siserá ligh ted downe of his charet, and fled away on his fete.

16 But * Barák pursued after the charets, and* 1.13 after the hoste vnto Haroshéth of the Gen∣tiles: & al the host of Siseráfel vpon the edge of the sworde: there was not a man left.

17 Howbeit, Siserá fled away on his fete to the tent of laél the wife ofh 1.14 Hebér the Kenite: [for peace (was) betwene Iabin the King of Hazór, and betwene the house of Hebér the Kenite]

18 And Iaél went out to mete Sisera, and said vnto him, Turne in, my Lord, turne into me: feare not. And when he had turned in vnto her into her tent, she couered him with a“ 1.15 mantel.

19 And he said vnto her, Giue me, I pray thee, a litle water to drinke: for I am thirsty. And* 1.16 she opened * a bottle of milke and gaue him drink e, and couered him.

20 Againe he said vnto her, Stande in the dore of the tent, and when anie man doeth come and enquire of thee, saying, Isi 1.17 anie man here thou shalt say, Nay.

21 Then Iaél Hebers wife toke ak 1.18 nayle of the tent, and toke an hammer in her hand, and went so ftly vnto him, and smote the naile in∣to his temples, and fastened it into the groun de, [for he was fast a slepe, and wearie] and (so) he dyed.

22 And beholde, as Barák pursued after. Siserá Iaél came out to mete him, and said vnto him, Come, and I wil she we thee the man, whome thou sekest: and when he came into her (tent) beholde, Siserá layl 1.19 dead, and the naile in his temples.

23 So God broght downe Iabin the King of Canáan that day before the childrē of Israél.

24 And the hand of the children of Israél” 1.20 pro spered, and preuailed against Iabin the King of Canáan, vntil they had destroyed Iabin King of Canáan.
