3 Entonces los hijos de Israel clamaron a Jehová, porque Jabín tenía novecientos carros de hierro y había oprimido con crueldad a los hijos de Israel por veinte años.
4 Gobernaba en aquel tiempo a Israel una mujer, Débora, profetisa, mujer de Lapidot, 5 la cual acostumbraba sentarse bajo una palmera (conocida como la palmera de Débora), entre Ramá y Bet-el, en los montes de Efraín; y los hijos de Israel acudían a ella en busca de justicia.

3 The Israelites cried out for help to the Lord, because Sisera[a] had 900 chariots with iron-rimmed wheels,[b] and he cruelly[c] oppressed the Israelites for twenty years.
4 Now Deborah, a prophetess,[d] wife of Lappidoth, was[e] leading[f] Israel at that time. 5 She would sit[g] under the Date Palm Tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the Ephraimite hill country. The Israelites would come up to her to have their disputes settled.[h]
