Judges 4:6-14
New International Version
6 She sent for Barak son of Abinoam(A) from Kedesh(B) in Naphtali and said to him, “The Lord, the God of Israel, commands you: ‘Go, take with you ten thousand men of Naphtali(C) and Zebulun(D) and lead them up to Mount Tabor.(E) 7 I will lead Sisera, the commander of Jabin’s(F) army, with his chariots and his troops to the Kishon River(G) and give him into your hands.(H)’”
8 Barak said to her, “If you go with me, I will go; but if you don’t go with me, I won’t go.”
9 “Certainly I will go with you,” said Deborah. “But because of the course you are taking, the honor will not be yours, for the Lord will deliver Sisera into the hands of a woman.” So Deborah went with Barak to Kedesh.(I) 10 There Barak summoned(J) Zebulun and Naphtali, and ten thousand men went up under his command. Deborah also went up with him.
11 Now Heber the Kenite had left the other Kenites,(K) the descendants of Hobab,(L) Moses’ brother-in-law,[a] and pitched his tent by the great tree(M) in Zaanannim(N) near Kedesh.
12 When they told Sisera that Barak son of Abinoam had gone up to Mount Tabor,(O) 13 Sisera summoned from Harosheth Haggoyim to the Kishon River(P) all his men and his nine hundred chariots fitted with iron.(Q)
14 Then Deborah said to Barak, “Go! This is the day the Lord has given Sisera into your hands.(R) Has not the Lord gone ahead(S) of you?” So Barak went down Mount Tabor, with ten thousand men following him.
