1 And the children of Israel continued to do that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord, and Ehud was dead.
2 And the Lord gave them over into the hand of Jabin, the king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor; and the chieftain of his army was Sisera, and he dwelt in Harosheth-goiim.
3 And the children of Israel cried to the Lord; for he had nine hundred iron chariots, and he oppressed the children of Israel mightily for twenty years.
4 Now Deborah was a woman prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth; she judged Israel at that time.
5 And she sat under the palm tree of Deborah, between Ramah and Beth-el, in the mountain of Ephraim; and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
6 And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh-naphtali. And she said to him, “Indeed the Lord, God of Israel, commanded, ‘Go and draw toward Mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun.
7 And I shall draw to you, to the brook Kishon, Sisera, the chieftain of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will give him into your hand.’ “
8 And Barak said to her, “If you will go with me then I shall go, but if you will not go with me, I shall not go.”
9 And she said, “I shall surely go with you, but your glory will not be on the way which you go, for into the hand of a woman will the Lord deliver Sisera.” And Deborah arose and went with Barak to Kedesh.
10 And Barak gathered Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and ten thousand men went up at his feet; and Deborah went up with him.
11 Now Heber the Kenite had separated from the Kenites, of the children of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses; and he pitched his tent as far as Elon-bezaanannim, which is by Kedesh.
12 And they told Sisera that Barak, the son of Abinoam, had gone up to Mount Tabor.
13 And Sisera gathered all his chariots, nine hundred iron chariots, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth-goiim, to the brook Kishon.
14 And Deborah said to Barak, “Rise, for this is the day which the Lord has given Sisera into your hand. Did not the Lord go out before you?” And Barak went down from Mount Tabor, with ten thousand men after him.
15 And the Lord confused Sisera and all the chariots and all of the camp with the edge of the sword before Barak; and Sisera alighted from his chariot, and fled on foot.
16 And Barak pursued the chariots and the camp, to Harosheth-goiim; and all of Sisera’s camp fell by the edge of the sword, not even one was left.
17 And Sisera fled on foot 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 And Jael went out to meet Sisera and said to him, “Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not.” And he turned in to her into the tent, and she covered him with a garment.
19 And he said to her, “Give me now a little water to drink, for I am thirsty;” and she opened the flask of milk and gave him to drink, and covered him.
20 And he said to her, “Stand in the doorway of the tent; and it shall be, if any man comes and asks you and says, ‘Is a man here?,’ then you shall say, ‘There is not.’ “
21 And Jael, the wife of Heber, took the tent-pin, and placed the hammer in her hand, and came to him stealthily, and thrust the pin into his temple, and it pierced through into the ground; and he was in a deep sleep and weary; and he died.
22 And behold, Barak pursued Sisera, and Jael came out to meet him, and she said to him, “Come and I will show you the man whom you seek,” and he came to her, and behold, Sisera lay dead, and the pin was in his temple.
23 And God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan, before the children of Israel.
24 And the hand of the children of Israel prevailed constantly harder against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin, king of Canaan.

Hashem Disciplines His People Whenever They Sinned

It is of no surprise that Hashem is merciful to His people each and every time they are in distressed.

As long as they turn back to Him and confess their sins they are forgiven.

*One’s conduct is the basis of your righteousness according to G-d’s standard. Not by believing in a man-made god, like Jesus and the Trinity!
