1. After Ehud had died, the Israelites again did things that the Lord saw as evil.
2. So the Lord gave them over to King Jabin of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor. The commander of his army was Sisera, and he was stationed in Harosheth-ha-goiim.
3. The Israelites cried out to the Lord because Sisera had nine hundred iron chariots and had oppressed the Israelites cruelly for twenty years.
4. Now Deborah, a prophet, the wife of Lappidoth, was a leader of Israel at that time.
