Judges 3 ~ 5

Settings

3:7And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and they forgot Jehovah their God and served the Baals and the Asherahs. Compare
3:8Therefore the anger of Jehovah burned against Israel, and He sold them into the hand of Cushan-rishathaim the king of Mesopotamia. And the children of Israel served Cushan-rishathaim eight years. Compare
3:9Then the children of Israel cried out to Jehovah, and Jehovah raised up a savior for the children of Israel, who saved them, that is, Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother. Compare
3:10And the Spirit of Jehovah came upon him, and he judged Israel. And he went out to battle, and Jehovah delivered Cushan-rishathaim the king of Aram into his hand; and his hand prevailed over Cushan-rishathaim. Compare
3:11And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died. Compare
3:12Then the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah. And Jehovah strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel because they did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah. Compare
3:13And he gathered the children of Ammon and Amalek to himself and went and struck Israel, and they took possession of the city of palms. Compare
3:14And the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years. Compare
3:15Then the children of Israel cried out to Jehovah, and Jehovah raised up a savior for them, that is, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjaminite, a left-handed man. Now the children of Israel sent tribute to Eglon the king of Moab by him. Compare
3:16And Ehud made himself a dagger that had two edges, a cubit long. And he strapped it to his right thigh under his clothes. Compare
3:17And he presented the tribute to Eglon the king of Moab. (Now Eglon was a very fat man.) Compare
3:18And when he finished presenting the tribute, he sent away the people who carried the tribute. Compare
3:19But he himself returned from the sculptured idols at Gilgal and said, I have a secret message for you, O king. And he said, Hush. And all those who attended to him went out from him. Compare
3:20And when Ehud came to him, he was sitting alone in his cool upper room. And Ehud said, I have a message from God for you. And he rose up from his seat. Compare
3:21And Ehud reached with his left hand and took the dagger from his right thigh, and he drove it into his belly. Compare
3:22And the hilt also went in, after the blade; and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not draw the dagger from his belly. And he went out into the courtyard. Compare
3:23Then Ehud went out onto the porch, and he closed the doors of the upper room on Eglon and locked them. Compare
3:24And when he had gone out, Eglon's servants came and saw that the doors of the upper room were locked; and they said, He must be relieving himself in the cool chamber. Compare
3:25And they waited until they were ashamed, but still he was not opening the doors of the upper room. Then they took the key and opened them. And there was their lord, fallen to the ground dead. Compare
3:26And Ehud escaped while they delayed, and he passed by the sculptured idols and escaped to Seirah. Compare
3:27And when he arrived, he blew the horn in the hill country of Ephraim; and the children of Israel came down with him from the hill country, and he was before them. Compare
3:28And he said to them, Follow closely after me, for Jehovah has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him and took the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites; and they let no man cross over. Compare
3:29And they struck about ten thousand Moabites at that time, all stout and all valiant men; and no man escaped. Compare
3:30So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest eighty years. Compare
3:31And after him there was Shamgar the son of Anath, who struck six hundred Philistines with an ox goad; and he also saved Israel. Compare
4:1Then the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah after Ehud died. Compare
4:2And Jehovah sold them into the hand of Jabin the king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor. And the captain of his army was Sisera, who dwelt at Harosheth-hagoyim. Compare
4:3And the children of Israel cried out to Jehovah, for he had nine hundred iron chariots, and he oppressed the children of Israel severely twenty years. Compare
4:4Now Deborah was a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth. She judged Israel at that time. Compare
4:5And she would sit under the palm of Deborah, between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim. And the children of Israel went up to her for judgment. Compare
4:6And she sent word and called to Barak the son of Abinoam from Kedesh-naphtali and said to him, Jehovah the God of Israel has indeed commanded: Go and deploy your forces on Mount Tabor; and take with you ten thousand men from the children of Naphtali and from the children of Zebulun. Compare
4:7And I will draw out Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his throng, toward you at the river Kishon; and I will deliver him into your hand. Compare
4:8And Barak said to her, If you will go with me, I will go; but if you do not go with me, I will not go. Compare
4:9And she said, I will surely go with you. However there will be no glory for you on the journey you are taking, for Jehovah will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah rose up and went with Barak to Kedesh. Compare
4:10And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh, and ten thousand men went up behind him; and Deborah went up with him. Compare
4:11Now Heber the Kenite had separated himself from the Kenites, from the children of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses. And he pitched his tent at the terebinth in Zaanannim, which is near Kedesh. Compare
4:12And they told Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam went up to Mount Tabor. Compare
4:13And Sisera called all his chariots-nine hundred iron chariots-and all the people who were with him from Harosheth-hagoyim to the river Kishon. Compare
4:14And Deborah said to Barak, Rise up, for this is the day when Jehovah will deliver Sisera into your hand. Jehovah has indeed gone out before you. So Barak went down from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men after him. Compare
4:15And Jehovah threw Sisera and all his chariots and all his army into confusion with the edge of the sword before Barak, and Sisera got down from his chariot and fled on foot. Compare
4:16But Barak pursued after the chariots and the army as far as Harosheth-hagoyim. And all the army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword; not even one was left. Compare
4:17Meanwhile, Sisera had fled on foot to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite; for there had been peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite. Compare
4:18And Jael went out to meet Sisera; and she said to him, Turn here, my lord; turn here to me; do not be afraid. So he turned to her into her tent, and she covered him with a rug. Compare
4:19And he said to her, Give me please a little water to drink, for I am thirsty. And she opened a skin of milk and gave him a drink; then she covered him. Compare
4:20And he said to her, Stand at the entrance of the tent; and if anyone comes and asks you, saying, Is there a man here? you shall say, No. Compare
4:21Then Jael the wife of Heber took a tent peg and put a hammer in her hand and went quietly to him. And she drove the peg into his temple, and it pierced through to the ground; for he was sound asleep and exhausted. And he died. Compare
4:22And Barak was at that moment pursuing Sisera when Jael came out to meet him. And she said to him, Come, and I will show you the man you are seeking. And he went with her; and there was Sisera, fallen dead with the peg in his temple. Compare
4:23So on that day God subdued Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel. Compare
4:24And the hand of the children of Israel became heavier and heavier upon Jabin the king of Canaan until they destroyed Jabin the king of Canaan. Compare
5:1Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying: Compare
5:2That the leaders took the lead in Israel, / That the people have willingly offered themselves, / Bless Jehovah. Compare
5:3Hear, O kings; give ear, O princes! / I will sing; I, to Jehovah. / I will sing praise to Jehovah / The God of Israel. Compare
5:4O Jehovah, when You went forth from Seir, / When You marched from the field of Edom, / The earth trembled, the heavens also dripped, / Indeed the clouds dripped water. Compare
5:5The mountains quaked at the presence of Jehovah, / Sinai there, at the presence of Jehovah the God of Israel. Compare
5:6In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, / In the days of Jael, the highways were not used; / And travelers went / On the roundabout paths. Compare
5:7The villages ceased to act; / They ceased in Israel; / Until I, Deborah, rose up; / Until I rose up as a mother in Israel. Compare
5:8They chose new gods; / Then there was war in their gates. / Was a shield or a spear seen / Among forty thousand in Israel? Compare
5:9My heart is with the commanders of Israel, / Those who offered themselves willingly among the people. / Bless Jehovah! Compare
5:10Tell of it, you who ride on white donkeys, / You who sit on rich carpets, / And you who go upon the way. Compare
5:11Louder than the voice of those who distribute water among the watering / places, / There they recount the righteous deeds of Jehovah, / His righteous acts toward His villages in Israel. / Then the people of Jehovah went down to the gates. Compare
5:12Awake! Awake, Deborah! / Awake! Awake, speak forth a song! / Arise, Barak; / And lead captive your captives, son of Abinoam. Compare
5:13Then a remnant of the nobles went down; / The people of Jehovah went down with me against the mighty: Compare
5:14From Ephraim, those who took root in Amalek; / Following you, Benjamin, with your peoples; / From Machir commanders came down, / And from Zebulun those who wielded the staff of him who marshals. Compare
5:15And the princes in Issachar were with Deborah; / And Issachar was true to Barak; / Into the valley they were sent behind him. / Among the divisions of Reuben / There were great resolutions in heart. Compare
5:16Why did you sit among the sheepfolds / Listening to the pipings for the flocks? / In the divisions of Reuben / There were great searchings of heart. Compare
5:17Gilead stayed across the Jordan. / And as for Dan, why did he remain with the ships? / Asher sat at the shore of the sea / And stayed at his landings. Compare
5:18Zebulun was a people that despised their own lives even unto death; / And Naphtali, on the heights of the field. Compare
5:19The kings came; they fought. / At that time the kings of Canaan fought / In Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; / They took no gain of silver. Compare
5:20From heaven the stars fought; / From their courses they fought with Sisera. Compare
5:21The river Kishon swept them away, / The ancient river, the river Kishon. / March on, O my soul, with strength! Compare
5:22At that time the horse hooves stamped / With the prancing, the prancing of their mighty steeds. Compare
5:23Curse Meroz, says the Angel of Jehovah; / Bitterly curse its inhabitants. / For they did not come to the aid of Jehovah, / To the aid of Jehovah against the mighty. Compare
5:24Blessed among women shall Jael be, / The wife of Heber the Kenite; / Blessed among the women in the tent shall she be. Compare
5:25He asked for water; she gave him milk. / In a bowl for nobles she presented him with cream. Compare
5:26She put her hand to the tent peg, / And her right hand to the workman's hammer; / Then she struck Sisera; she smashed his head; / Indeed she shattered and pierced his temples. Compare
5:27At her feet he bowed; he fell; he lay down. / At her feet he bowed; he fell. / Where he bowed, there he fell, destroyed. Compare
5:28Through the window one looks forth and cries shrilly; / The mother of Sisera, through the lattice: / Why is his chariot so long in coming? / Why do the tracks of his chariots delay? Compare
5:29The wisest of her ladies answer her, / And she herself returns an answer to herself: Compare
5:30Have they not found and divided the spoil? / A girl, two girls, to each mighty man. / The spoil of dyed garments to Sisera, / The spoil of embroidered, dyed garments; / A dyed embroidery, two embroideries, / For the neck of the spoiler. Compare
5:31May all Your enemies so perish, O Jehovah. / But may those who love Him be like the sun / When it rises in its might. And the land had rest forty years. Compare
