Judges 4 (BPH)

1 Efter Ehuds død gjorde israelitterne igen, hvad der var ondt i Herrens øjne. 2 Da udleverede Herren dem til kana’anæerkongen Jabin af Hatzor. Kongens hærfører hed Sisera, og han boede i Haroshet-ha-Gojim. 3 Med sine 900 stridsvogne med jernbeslåede hjul besejrede han israelitterne og undertrykte dem brutalt i 20 år. Til sidst råbte folket til Herren om hjælp. 4 På det tidspunkt var profeten Debora, Lappidots kone, dommer i Israel. 5 Hun plejede at sidde under Deboras palmetræ et sted mellem Rama og Betel i Efraims højland, og dér kom israelitterne til hende med deres retssager. 6 En dag sendte Debora bud efter Barak, Abinoams søn, der boede i Kedesh i Naftalis land. „Herren, Israels Gud, har befalet, at du skal samle 10.000 mænd fra Naftalis og Zebulons stammer på Tabors bjerg,” sagde hun til Barak. 7 „Så vil Herren lokke kong Jabins hærfører, Sisera, hans hær og stridsvogne til Kishonbækken og udlevere dem til dig dér.” 8 „Godt,” svarede Barak, „jeg tager af sted—men på den betingelse, at du tager med!” 9 „Jeg skal gerne gå med,” svarede Debora. „Men i så fald bliver det en kvinde, der får æren for sejren over Sisera og ikke dig.” Derpå fulgte hun med ham til Kedesh. 10 Da de nåede derhen, samlede Barak Zebulons og Naftalis stammer og 10.000 mand drog af sted til Tabor. Debora gik med. 11 Nu var der en mand ved navn Heber, som havde slået lejr i nærheden af egetræet ved Sa’anannim. Han var efterkommer af Moses’ svoger Hobab, men havde fjernet sig fra sine øvrige kenitiske slægtninge. 12 Da Sisera fik at vide, at Barak og hans hær havde slået lejr på Tabors bjerg, 13 mobiliserede han hele hæren og alle 900 jernvogne og marcherede fra Haroshet-ha-Gojim til Kishonbækken. 14 Da sagde Debora til Barak: „Bryd op! Herren vil gå foran dig og give dig sejr over Sisera i dag.” Straks førte Barak sine 10.000 mand ned fra Tabors bjerg og rykkede frem til angreb. 15 Idet Barak angreb, skabte Herren panik blandt Siseras mænd og vogne, så Sisera måtte springe ned fra sin vogn og flygte til fods. 16 Barak og hans mænd forfulgte fjenderne og deres vogne helt til Haroshet-ha-Gojim, indtil hele Siseras hær var hugget ned. 17 17-18 I mellemtiden var Sisera undsluppet og var nået til kenitten Hebers lejr. Hebers slægt havde nemlig indgået en venskabspagt med kong Jabin af Hatzor. Hebers kone, Jael, gik nu Sisera i møde og sagde: „Her har du intet at frygte. Kom med ind i mit telt.” Så fulgte han med hende ind i teltet, hvor hun dækkede ham til med et tæppe. 19 „Giv mig lidt vand,” sagde han til hende, „jeg er så tørstig.” Hun gav ham lidt mælk fra lædersækken og dækkede ham til igen. 20 „Stil dig i teltdøren,” fortsatte han, „og hvis der kommer nogen og spørger, om der er en kriger her, skal du sige nej.” 21 Men da Sisera var faldet i søvn af udmattelse, tog Jael en spids teltpløk og en hammer og sneg sig hen til ham. Så hamrede hun pløkken gennem tindingen på ham og ned i jorden. 22 Da Barak senere kom for at lede efter Sisera, gik Jael ham i møde og sagde: „Kom, så skal jeg vise dig ham, du leder efter.” Da fulgte Barak efter hende ind i teltet og fandt Sisera død med teltpløkken gennem tindingen. 23 Den dag så israelitterne, hvordan Herren gav dem sejr over kana’anæerkongen Jabin, 24 og fra den dag fik Israels folk mere og mere overtaget, indtil de til sidst fik udryddet ham og hans folk.
