9. She said, “I will surely go with you. Nevertheless, the journey that you take won’t be for your honour; for the Lord will sell Sisera into a woman’s hand.” Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
10. Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali together to Kedesh; and ten thousand men followed him; and Deborah went up with him.
11. Now Heber the Kenite had separated himself from the Kenites, even from the children of Hobab, Moses’ brother-in-law, and had pitched his tent as far as the oak in Zaanannim, which is by Kedesh.
12. They told Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to Mount Tabor.
13. Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people who were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles, to the river Kishon.
14. Deborah said to Barak, “Go; for this is the day in which the Lord has delivered Sisera into your hand. Hasn’t the Lord gone out before you?” So Barak went down from Mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
15. The Lord confused Sisera, all his chariots, and all his army, with the edge of the sword before Barak. Sisera abandoned his chariot and fled away on his feet.
16. But Barak pursued the chariots and the army to Harosheth of the Gentiles; and all the army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword. There was not a man left.
17. However Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite; for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.
18. Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, “Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; don’t be afraid.” He came in to her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug.
19. He said to her, “Please give me a little water to drink; for I am thirsty.”She opened a container of milk, and gave him a drink, and covered him.
20. He said to her, “Stand in the door of the tent, and if any man comes and enquires of you, and says, ‘Is there any man here?’ you shall say, ‘No.’”
21. Then Jael Heber’s wife took a tent peg, and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him, and struck the pin into his temples, and it pierced through into the ground; for he was in a deep sleep; so he fainted and died.
