killeth him in her house.
1 And the children of Israel added to doe euil in the sight
of our Lord after the death of Aod,
2 and our Lord deliuered
them into the handes of Iabin the king of Chanaan,
which reigned in Asor: and he had a captaine of his armie
named Sisara, and he dwelt in Haroseth of the gentiles.
3 And
the children of Israel cried to our Lord: for he had nine
hundred yron hooked chariottes, and for twentie yeres had
vehemently oppressed them.
4 And there was one Debbora
a prophetese the wife of Lapidoth, which note iudged the people
at that time.
5 And she sate vnder a palme tree, which was
called by her name, betwen Rama and Bethel in the mount
of Ephraim: and the children of Israel went vp to her for
al iudgement.
6 Who sent, and called Barac the sonne of Abinoem
of Cedes in Nepthali: and she said to him: Our
Lord God of Israel hath commanded thee, Goe, and lead an
armie into mount Thabor, and thou shalt take with thee ten
thousand fighting men of the children of Nepthali, and of
the children of Zabulon:
7 and I wil bring vnto thee in the
place of the Torrent Cison, Sisara the prince of the hoste of
Iabin, and his chariotes, and al the multitude, and wil deliuer
them in thy hand.
8 And Barac said to her: If thou come
with me, I wil goe: If thou wilt not come with me, I wil
not goe.
9 Who said to him: I wil goe in deede with thee,
but at this time the victorie shal not be imputed to thee,
because Sisara shal be deliuered into the hand of a woman
Debbora therfore arose, and went with Barac into Cedes.
10 Who calling vnto him Zabulon and Nepthali, went vp
with ten thousand fighting men, hauing Debbora in his companie.
11 And Habet the Cineite was in time past departed
from the rest of the Cineites his brethren of Hobab, the cosin
of Moyses: and had pitched his tentes vnto the valley, which
is called Sennim, and was nere Cedes.
12 And it was told
Sisara, that Barac the sonne of Abinoem was gone vp into
mount Thabor:
13 and he gathered nine hundred yron hooked
chariottes, and al his armie from Haroseth of the gentiles

to the torrent Cison.
14 And Debbora said to Barac: Arise, for
this is the day, wherin our Lord hath deliuered Sisara into
thy handes: behold he is thy leader. And Barac went downe
from mount Thabor, and ten thousand fighting men with
him.
15 And our Lord terrified Sisara, and al his chariotes,
and al the multitude in the edge of the sword at the sight of
Barac: in so much, that Sisara leaping downe from his chariote,
fled a foote,
16 and Barac pursewed the chariotes fleeing,
and the armie vnto Haroseth of the gentiles, and al the
multitude of the enemies was vtterly destroyed.
17 But Sisara
fleeing came to the tent of Iahel and wife of Haber the Cineite.
for there was peace betwixt labin the king of Asor, and
the house of Haber the Cineite.
18 Iahel therfore going forth
to meete Sisara, said to him: Come in to me my Lord, come
in, feare not. Who being entred into her tabernacle, and couered
of her with a cloke,
19 said to her: Geue me, I beseech
thee, a little water, for I am very thirstie. Who opened a bottle
of milke, and gaue him to drinke, and couered him.
20 And
Sisara said to her: Stand before the doore of the tabernacle,
and when any shal come asking thee, and saying: Is there
any man here? Thou shalt say: There is none.
21 noteIahel therfore
the wife of Haber tooke a nayle of the tabernacle, taking
withal a hammer also: and going in secretely, and with
silence she put the naile vpon the temple of his head, and striking
it with the hammer, fastened it into his braine euen to
the ground: who ioyning deepe sleepe and death together,
faynted, and died.
22 And behold Barac folowing Sisara
came: & Iahel going forth to meete him, said to him: Come,
and I wil shew thee the man whom thou seekest. Who when
he was entered in vnto her, saw Sisara lying dead, and the
nayle fastened in his temples.
23 Therfore God that day humbled
Iabin the king of Chanaan before the children of Israel:
24 which increased daily, and with strong hand oppressed
Iabin the King of Chanaan, til they destroyed him.
