Judges 4:12-18 Modern English Version (MEV)

12. Then they told Sisera that Barak son of Abinoam had gone up to Mount Tabor.

13. So Sisera summoned all his nine hundred iron chariots and all the people with him, from Harosheth Haggoyim to the River Kishon.

14. Then Deborah said to Barak, “Get up, for this is the day that the Lord has given Sis­era into your hands. Has not the Lord gone out before you?” So Barak went down from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men behind him.

15. The Lord routed Sisera and all of his chariots and all of his army with the edge of the sword in front of Barak. Sisera dismounted his chariot and fled on foot.

16. Barak chased after the chariots and the army as far as Harosheth Haggoyim. The whole army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword. Not a single man survived.

17. Sisera fled on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, for there was peace between King Jabin of Hazor and the family of Heber the Kenite.

18. Jael went out to meet Sisera and said to him, “Turn aside, my lord. Turn aside to me. Do not be afraid.” So he turned aside to her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug.
