Chapter 5
Then
sang
Deborah
and
Barak
the
son
of
Abinoam
on
that
day,
saying,
2
Praise
ye
the
Lord
for
the
avenging
of
Israel,
when
the
people
willingly
offered
themselves.
3
Hear,
O
ye
kings;
give
ear,
O
ye
princes;
I,
even
I,
will
sing
unto
the
Lord;
I
will
sing
praise
to
the
Lord
God
of
Israel.
4
Lord,
when
thou
wentest
out
of
Seir,
when
thou
marchedst
out
of
the
field
of
Edom,
the
earth
trembled,
and
the
heavens
dropped,
the
clouds
also
dropped
water.
5
The
mountains
melted
from
before
the
Lord,
even
that
Sinai
from
before
the
Lord
God
of
Israel.
6
In
the
days
of
Shamgar
the
son
of
Anath,
in
the
days
of
Jael,
the
highways
were
unoccupied,
and
the
travellers
walked
through
byways.
7
The
inhabitants
of
the
villages
ceased,
they
ceased
in
Israel,
until
that
I
Deborah
arose,
that
I
arose
a
mother
in
Israel.
8
They
chose
new
gods;
then
was
war
in
the
gates:
was
there
a
shield
or
spear
seen
among
forty
thousand
in
Israel?
9
My
heart
is
toward
the
governors
of
Israel,
that
offered
themselves
willingly
among
the
people.
Bless
ye
the
Lord.
10
Speak,
ye
that
ride
on
white
asses,
ye
that
sit
in
judgment,
and
walk
by
the
way.
11
They
that
are
delivered
from
the
noise
of
archers
in
the
places
of
drawing
water,
there
shall
they
rehearse
the
righteous
acts
of
the
Lord,
even
the
righteous
acts
toward
the
inhabitants
of
his
villages
in
Israel:
then
shall
the
people
of
the
Lord
go
down
to
the
gates.
12
Awake,
awake,
Deborah:
awake,
awake,
utter
a
song:
arise,
Barak,
and
lead
thy
captivity
captive,
thou
son
of
Abinoam.
13
Then
he
made
him
that
remaineth
have
dominion
over
the
nobles
among
the
people:
the
Lord
made
me
have
dominion
over
the
mighty.
14
Out
of
Ephraim
was
there
a
root
of
them
against
Amalek;
after
thee,
Benjamin,
among
thy
people;
out
of
Machir
came
down
governors,
and
out
of
Zebulun
they
that
handle
the
pen
of
the
writer.
15
And
the
princes
of
Issachar
were
with
Deborah;
even
Issachar,
and
also
Barak:
he
was
sent
on
foot
into
the
valley.
For
the
divisions
of
Reuben
there
were
great
thoughts
of
heart.
16
Why
abodest
thou
among
the
sheepfolds,
to
hear
the
bleatings
of
the
flocks?
For
the
divisions
of
Reuben
there
were
great
searchings
of
heart.
17
Gilead
abode
beyond
Jordan:
and
why
did
Dan
remain
in
ships?
Asher
continued
on
the
sea
shore,
and
abode
in
his
breaches.
18
Zebulun
and
Naphtali
were
a
people
that
jeoparded
their
lives
unto
the
death
in
the
high
places
of
the
field.
19
The
kings
came
and
fought,
then
fought
the
kings
of
Canaan
in
Taanach
by
the
waters
of
Megiddo;
they
took
no
gain
of
money.
20
They
fought
from
heaven;
the
stars
in
their
courses
fought
against
Sisera.
21
The
river
of
Kishon
swept
them
away,
that
ancient
river,
the
river
Kishon.
O
my
soul,
thou
hast
trodden
down
strength.
22
Then
were
the
horsehoofs
broken
by
the
means
of
the
pransings,
the
pransings
of
their
mighty
ones.
23
Curse
ye
Meroz,
said
the
angel
of
the
Lord,
curse
ye
bitterly
the
inhabitants
thereof;
because
they
came
not
to
the
help
of
the
Lord,
to
the
help
of
the
Lord
against
the
mighty.
24
Blessed
above
women
shall
Jael
the
wife
of
Heber
the
Kenite
be,
blessed
shall
she
be
above
women
in
the
tent.
25
He
asked
water,
and
she
gave
him
milk;
she
brought
forth
butter
in
a
lordly
dish.
26
She
put
her
hand
to
the
nail,
and
her
right
hand
to
the
workmen’s
hammer;
and
with
the
hammer
she
smote
Sisera,
she
smote
off
his
head,
when
she
had
pierced
and
stricken
through
his
temples.
27
At
her
feet
he
bowed,
he
fell,
he
lay
down:
at
her
feet
he
bowed,
he
fell:
where
he
bowed,
there
he
fell
down
dead.
28
The
mother
of
Sisera
looked
out
at
a
window,
and
cried
through
the
lattice,
Why
is
his
chariot
so
long
in
coming?
why
tarry
the
wheels
of
his
chariots?
29
Her
wise
ladies
answered
her,
yea,
she
returned
answer
to
herself,
30
Have
they
not
sped?
have
they
not
divided
the
prey;
to
every
man
a
damsel
or
two;
to
Sisera
a
prey
of
divers
colours,
a
prey
of
divers
colours
of
needlework,
of
divers
colours
of
needlework
on
both
sides,
meet
for
the
necks
of
them
that
take
the
spoil?
31
So
let
all
thine
enemies
perish,
O
Lord:
but
let
them
that
love
him
be
as
the
sun
when
he
goeth
forth
in
his
might.
And
the
land
had
rest
forty
years.
