Chapter Four And the children of Israel
again did evil in the sight of the LORD

00:05.880 --> 00:06.980
when Ehud was dead.

00:07.720 --> 00:12.060
And the LORD sold them into the hand of
Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in

00:12.060 --> 00:16.640
Hazor, the captain of whose host was
Sisera, which dwelt in Herosheth of the

00:16.640 --> 00:17.240
Gentiles.

00:17.660 --> 00:21.960
And the children of Israel cried unto the
LORD, for he had nine hundred chariots of

00:21.960 --> 00:25.420
iron, and twenty years he mightily
oppressed the children of Israel.

00:26.180 --> 00:31.520
And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of
Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.

00:31.960 --> 00:36.300
And she dwelt under the palm tree of
Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in Mount

00:36.300 --> 00:36.740
Ephraim.

00:37.120 --> 00:39.440
And the children of Israel came up to her
for judgment.

00:40.180 --> 00:43.580
And she sent and called Barak the son of
Abinuam out of Kedesh Naphtali,

00:43.840 --> 00:49.380
and said unto him, Hath not the LORD God
of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw

00:49.380 --> 00:54.200
toward Mount Tabor, and take with thee ten
thousand men of the children of Naphtali,

00:54.460 --> 00:55.920
and of the children of Zebulun?

00:56.240 --> 01:01.160
And I will draw unto thee to the river
Kishon, Sisera the captain of Jabin's

01:01.160 --> 01:06.260
army, with his chariots and his multitude,
and I will deliver him into thine hand.

01:06.480 --> 01:12.140
And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go
with me, then I will go, but if thou wilt

01:12.140 --> 01:14.700
not go with me, then I will not go.

01:14.700 --> 01:19.040
And she said, I will surely go with thee,
notwithstanding the journey that thou

01:19.040 --> 01:23.100
takest shall not be for thine honor,
for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the

01:23.100 --> 01:23.840
hand of a woman.

01:24.440 --> 01:27.120
And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to
Kedesh.

01:27.820 --> 01:32.140
And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to
Kedesh, and he went up with ten thousand

01:32.140 --> 01:33.000
men at his feet.

01:33.420 --> 01:34.680
And Deborah went up with him.

01:35.380 --> 01:38.820
Now Heber the Kenite, which was of the
children of Hobab, the father-in-law of

01:38.820 --> 01:42.460
Moses, had severed himself from the
Kenites, and pitched his tent under the

01:42.460 --> 01:44.960
plain of Zanaim, which is by Kedesh.

01:45.440 --> 01:49.340
And they showed Sisera that Barak,
the son of Abinuim, was gone up to Mount

01:49.340 --> 01:49.720
Tabor.

01:51.000 --> 01:54.880
And Sisera gathered together all his
chariots, even nine hundred chariots of

01:54.880 --> 01:59.560
iron, and all the people that were with
him, from Herosheth of the Gentiles unto

01:59.560 --> 02:00.700
the river of Chisholm.

02:01.140 --> 02:03.320
And Deborah said unto Barak, Up!

02:03.580 --> 02:07.640
For this is the day in which the Lord hath
delivered Sisera into thine hand.

02:08.000 --> 02:10.360
Is not the Lord gone out before thee?

02:10.540 --> 02:14.260
So Barak went down from Mount Tabor,
and ten thousand men after him.

02:14.800 --> 02:18.940
And the Lord discomfited Sisera,
and all his chariots, and all his host,

02:19.060 --> 02:22.940
with the edge of the sword before Barak,
so that Sisera lighted down off his

02:22.940 --> 02:24.800
chariot, and fled away on his feet.

02:25.380 --> 02:29.240
But Barak pursued after the chariots,
and after the host, unto Herosheth of the

02:29.240 --> 02:29.780
Gentiles.

02:29.780 --> 02:34.500
And all the host of Sisera fell upon the
edge of the sword, and there was not a man

02:34.500 --> 02:35.000
left.

02:35.880 --> 02:40.640
Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feet to
the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the

02:40.640 --> 02:41.020
Kenite.

02:41.520 --> 02:45.240
For there was peace between Jabin the king
of Hazor, and the house of Heber the

02:45.240 --> 02:45.660
Kenite.

02:46.240 --> 02:50.160
And Jael went out to meet Sisera,
and said unto him, Turn in, my lord,

02:50.240 --> 02:51.620
turn in to me, fear not.

02:51.840 --> 02:55.540
And when he had turned in unto her into
the tent, she covered him with a mantle.

02:55.960 --> 03:00.060
And he said unto her, Give me,
I pray thee, a little water to drink,

03:00.560 --> 03:01.400
for I am thirsty.

03:01.800 --> 03:04.680
And she opened a bottle of milk,
and gave him drink, and covered him.

03:05.260 --> 03:09.640
Again he said unto her, Stand in the door
of the tent, and it shall be, when any man

03:09.640 --> 03:13.320
doth come and inquire of thee,
and say, Is there any man here?

03:13.960 --> 03:15.480
But thou shalt say, No.

03:16.100 --> 03:20.740
Then Jael, Heber's wife, took a nail of
the tent, and took an hammer in her hand,

03:20.740 --> 03:25.580
and went softly unto him, and smote the
nail into his temples, and fastened it

03:25.580 --> 03:28.120
into the ground, for he was fast asleep
and weary.

03:28.800 --> 03:29.640
So he died.

03:30.240 --> 03:34.540
And behold, as Barak pursued Sisera,
Jael came out to meet him, and said unto

03:34.540 --> 03:37.680
him, Come, and I will show thee the man
whom thou seekest.

03:38.020 --> 03:42.640
And when he came into her tent,
behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was

03:42.640 --> 03:43.180
in his temples.

03:44.340 --> 03:48.700
So God subdued on that day Jabin the king
of Canaan before the children of Israel.

03:48.700 --> 03:52.600
And the hand of the children of Israel
prospered and prevailed against Jabin the

03:52.600 --> 03:55.900
king of Canaan, until they had destroyed
Jabin king of Canaan.
