1. And again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of Yahweh, and Ehud died.
2. So Yahweh sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor. The commander of his army was Sisera, and he was living in Harosheth Haggoyim.
3. And the Israelites cried to Yahweh, as he had nine hundred iron chariots, and he oppressed the Israelites cruelly for twenty years.
4. Now at that time Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel.
5. And she used to sit under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim; and the Israelites went up to her for judgment.
