24 By your servants you have reproached the Lord,
And said, ‘By the multitude of my chariots
I have come up to the height of the mountains,
To the limits of Lebanon;
I will cut down its tall cedars
And its choice cypress trees;
I will enter its farthest height,
To its fruitful forest.
25 I have dug and drunk water,
And with the soles of my feet I have dried up
All the brooks of [a]defense.’

  1. Psalm 33:17 false

And the children of Israel cried out to the Lord; for Jabin had nine hundred (A)chariots of iron, and for twenty years (B)he had harshly oppressed the children of Israel.

Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, was judging Israel at that time. (C)And she would sit under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the mountains of Ephraim. And the children of Israel came up to her for judgment. Then she sent and called for (D)Barak the son of Abinoam from (E)Kedesh in Naphtali, and said to him, “Has not the Lord God of Israel commanded, ‘Go and [a]deploy troops at Mount (F)Tabor; take with you ten thousand men of the sons of Naphtali and of the sons of Zebulun; and against you (G)I will deploy Sisera, the commander of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his multitude at the (H)River Kishon; and I will [b]deliver him into your hand’?”

And Barak said to her, “If you will go with me, then I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go!”

So she said, “I will surely go with you; nevertheless there will be no glory for you in the journey you are taking, for the Lord will (I)sell Sisera into the hand of a woman.” Then Deborah arose and went with Barak to Kedesh.
