And Deborah sent and called Barak son of Abinoam from Kedesh of Naphtali, and said to him, Did not the Lord the God of Israel command you, and you shall go to Mount Tabor and take with yourself ten thousand men from the sons of Naphtali and from the sons of Zebulun?

And Barak said to her, If you go with me, I will go; and if you do not go, I will not go, because I do not know the day on which the Lord prospers the angel with me.

And the Lord threw Sisera and all his chariots and all his camp into confusion before Barak by the edge of the sword, and Sisera dismounted from off his chariot and fled on foot.

And Barak pursued after the chariots and after the camp as far as Harosheth of the nations, and all the camp of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword; not one was left.

And Sisara fled on his feet to the tent of Jael, wife of Haber, the companion of the Kenite, because there was peace between Jabin king of Asor and between the house of Haber the Kenite.

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

And Sisara said to her, Give me, please, a little water, for I am thirsty. And she opened the skin of milk and gave him drink and covered him.

And Sisera said to her, Stand now at the door of the tent, and it shall be, if a man comes to you and asks you and says, Is there a man here? then you shall say, There is not.
