Judges 5:19-27

New International Version

¹⁹ “Kings came^(A), they fought,
    the kings of Canaan fought.
At Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo,^(B)
    they took no plunder of silver.^(C)
20 From the heavens^(D) the stars fought,
    from their courses they fought against Sisera.
²¹ The river Kishon^(E) swept them away,
    the age-old river, the river Kishon.
    March on, my soul; be strong!^(F)
22 Then thundered the horses’ hooves—
    galloping, galloping go his mighty steeds.^(G)
23 ‘Curse Meroz,’ said the angel of the Lord.
    ‘Curse its people bitterly,
because they did not come to help the Lord,
    to help the Lord against the mighty.’

²⁴ “Most blessed of women^(H) be Jael,^(I)
    the wife of Heber the Kenite,^(J)
    most blessed of tent-dwelling women.
²⁵ He asked for water, and she gave him milk;^(K)
    in a bowl fit for nobles she brought him curdled milk.
²⁶ Her hand reached for the tent peg,
    her right hand for the workman’s hammer.
She struck Sisera, she crushed his head,
    she shattered and pierced his temple.^(L)
27 At her feet he sank,
    he fell; there he lay.
At her feet he sank, he fell;
    where he sank, there he fell—dead^(M).
