2 So the Lord asold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in bHazor. The commander of his army was cSisera, who dwelt in dHarosheth Hagoyim.
3 And the children of Israel cried out to the Lord; for Jabin had nine hundred achariots of iron, and for twenty years bhe had harshly oppressed the children of Israel.
4 Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, was judging Israel at that time.
5 aAnd she would sit under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the mountains of Ephraim. And the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
6 Then she sent and called for aBarak the son of Abinoam from bKedesh in Naphtali, and said to him, “Has not the Lord God of Israel commanded, ‘Go and1 deploy troops at Mount cTabor; take with you ten thousand men of the sons of Naphtali and of the sons of Zebulun;
7 and against you aI will deploy Sisera, the commander of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his multitude at the bRiver 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, I will not go!”
9 So she said, “I will surely go with you; nevertheless there will be no glory for you in the journey you are taking, for the Lord will asell Sisera into the hand of a woman.” Then Deborah arose and went with Barak to Kedesh.
