New American Standard Bible
Chapter 5
15
And the princes of Issachar
were
with Deborah;
As
was
Issachar, so
was
Barak;
Into the valley they rushed at his heels;
Among the divisions of Reuben
There were
great determinations of heart.
16
Why did you sit among the sheepfolds,
To hear the piping for the flocks?
Among the divisions of Reuben
There were
great searchings of heart.
17
Gilead remained across the Jordan;
And why did Dan stay on ships?
Asher sat at the seashore,
And remained by its landings.
18
Zebulun
was
a people who risked their lives,
And Naphtali
too,
on the high places of the field.
19
'The kings came
and
fought;
Then the kings of Canaan fought
At Taanach near the waters of Megiddo;
They took no plunder in silver.
20
The stars fought from heaven,
From their paths they fought against Sisera.
21
The torrent of Kishon swept them away,
The ancient torrent, the torrent Kishon.
My soul, march on with strength!
22
Then the horses’ hoofs beat
From the galloping, the galloping of his mighty stallions.
23
‘Curse Meroz,’ said the angel of the
Lord
,
‘Utterly curse its inhabitants,
Because they did not come to the help of the
Lord
,
To the help of the
Lord
against the warriors.’
24
'Most blessed of women is Jael,
The wife of Heber the Kenite;
Most blessed is she of women in the tent.
25
He asked for water, she gave him milk;
In a magnificent bowl she brought him curds.
26
She reached out her hand for the tent peg,
And her right hand for the workmen’s hammer.
Then she struck Sisera, she smashed his head;
And she shattered and pierced his temple.
27
Between her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay;
Between her feet he bowed, he fell;
Where he bowed, there he fell dead.
28
'Out of the window she looked and wailed,
The mother of Sisera through the lattice,
‘Why does his chariot delay in coming?
Why do the hoofbeats of his chariots delay?’
29
Her wise princesses would answer her,
Indeed she repeats her words to herself,
30
‘Are they not finding, are they not dividing the spoils?
A concubine, two concubines for every warrior;
To Sisera a spoil of dyed cloth,
A spoil of dyed cloth embroidered,
Dyed cloth of double embroidery on the neck of the plunderer?’
King James Version
Chapter 5
15
And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; even Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben there were great thoughts of heart.
16
Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.
17
Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches.
18
Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high places of the field.
19
The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.
20
They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
21
The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength.
22
Then were the horsehoofs broken by the means of the pransings, the pransings of their mighty ones.
23
Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the
Lord
, curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the
Lord
, to the help of the
Lord
against the mighty.
24
Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
25
He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.
26
She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his head, when she had pierced and stricken through his temples.
27
At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down dead.
28
The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? why tarry the wheels of his chariots?
29
Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself,
30
Have they not sped? have they not divided the prey; to every man a damsel or two; to Sisera a prey of divers colours, a prey of divers colours of needlework, of divers colours of needlework on both sides, meet for the necks of them that take the spoil?
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 5
15
The princes of Issachar were with Deborah;
Issachar was with Barak;
they were under his leadership in the valley.
There was great searching of heart
among the clans of Reuben.
16
Why did you sit among the sheep pens
listening to the playing of pipes for the flocks?
There was great searching of heart
among the clans of Reuben.
17
Gilead remained beyond the Jordan.
Dan, why did you linger at the ships?
Asher remained at the seashore
and stayed in his harbors.
18
The people of Zebulun defied death,
Naphtali also, on the heights of the battlefield.
19
Kings came and fought.
Then the kings of Canaan fought
at Taanach by the Waters of Megiddo,
but they did not plunder the silver.
20
The stars fought from the heavens;
the stars fought with Sisera from their paths.
21
The river Kishon swept them away,
the ancient river, the river Kishon.
March on, my soul, in strength!
22
The horses’ hooves then hammered—
the galloping, galloping of his stallions.
23
"Curse Meroz," says the angel of the
Lord
,
"Bitterly curse her inhabitants,
for they did not come to help the
Lord
,
to help the
Lord
with the warriors."
24
Jael is most blessed of women,
the wife of Heber the Kenite;
she is most blessed among tent-dwelling women.
25
He asked for water; she gave him milk.
She brought him cream in a majestic bowl.
26
She reached for a tent peg,
her right hand, for a workman’s hammer.
Then she hammered Sisera—
she crushed his head;
she shattered and pierced his temple.
27
He collapsed, he fell, he lay down between her feet;
he collapsed, he fell between her feet;
where he collapsed, there he fell—dead.
28
Sisera’s mother looked through the window;
she peered through the lattice, crying out:
"Why is his chariot so long in coming?
Why don’t I hear the hoofbeats of his horses?"
29
Her wisest princesses answer her;
she even answers herself:
30
"Are they not finding and dividing the spoil—
a girl or two for each warrior,
the spoil of colored garments for Sisera,
the spoil of an embroidered garment or two for my neck?"
New Living Translation
Chapter 5
15
The princes of Issachar were with Deborah and Barak.
They followed Barak, rushing into the valley.
But in the tribe of Reuben
there was great indecision.
16
Why did you sit at home among the sheepfolds —
to hear the shepherds whistle for their flocks?
Yes, in the tribe of Reuben
there was great indecision.
17
Gilead remained east of the Jordan.
And why did Dan stay home?
Asher sat unmoved at the seashore,
remaining in his harbors.
18
But Zebulun risked his life,
as did Naphtali, on the heights of the battlefield.
19
'The kings of Canaan came and fought,
at Taanach near Megiddo’s springs,
but they carried off no silver treasures.
20
The stars fought from heaven.
The stars in their orbits fought against Sisera.
21
The Kishon River swept them away —
that ancient torrent, the Kishon.
March on with courage, my soul!
22
Then the horses’ hooves hammered the ground,
the galloping, galloping of Sisera’s mighty steeds.
23
‘Let the people of Meroz be cursed,’ said the angel of the
Lord
.
‘Let them be utterly cursed,
because they did not come to help the
Lord
—
to help the
Lord
against the mighty warriors.’
24
'Most blessed among women is Jael,
the wife of Heber the Kenite.
May she be blessed above all women who live in tents.
25
Sisera asked for water,
and she gave him milk.
In a bowl fit for nobles,
she brought him yogurt.
26
Then with her left hand she reached for a tent peg,
and with her right hand for the workman’s hammer.
She struck Sisera with the hammer, crushing his head.
With a shattering blow, she pierced his temples.
27
He sank, he fell,
he lay still at her feet.
And where he sank,
there he died.
28
'From the window Sisera’s mother looked out.
Through the window she watched for his return, saying,
‘Why is his chariot so long in coming?
Why don’t we hear the sound of chariot wheels?’
29
'Her wise women answer,
and she repeats these words to herself:
30
‘They must be dividing the captured plunder —
with a woman or two for every man.
There will be colorful robes for Sisera,
and colorful, embroidered robes for me.
Yes, the plunder will include
colorful robes embroidered on both sides.’

As Issachar, so

Sent into the valley under his command;
Among the divisions of Reuben
There were

To hear the pipings for the flocks?
The divisions of Reuben have great searchings of heart.
17

And why did Dan remain on ships?

who
jeopardized their lives to the point of death,
Naphtali also, on the heights of the battlefield.
19
“The kings came
and
fought,
Then the kings of Canaan fought
In Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo;
They took no spoils of silver.

They fought from the heavens;
The stars from their courses fought against Sisera.
21
The torrent of Kishon swept them away,
That ancient torrent, the torrent of Kishon.
O my soul, march on in strength!
22
Then the horses’ hooves pounded,
The galloping, galloping of his steeds.
23
‘Curse Meroz,’ said the angel of the
Lord

‘Curse its inhabitants bitterly,
Because they did not come to the help of the

Blessed is she among women in tents.
25
He asked for water, she gave milk;
She brought out cream in a lordly bowl.
26
She stretched her hand to the tent peg,
Her right hand to the workmen’s hammer;
She pounded Sisera, she pierced his head,
She split and struck through his temple.
27
At her feet he sank, he fell, he lay still;
At her feet he sank, he fell;
Where he sank, there he fell dead.
28
“The mother of Sisera looked through the window,
And cried out through the lattice,
‘Why is his chariot
so
long in coming?
Why tarries the clatter of his chariots?’

30
‘Are they not finding and dividing the spoil:
To every man a girl
or
two;
For Sisera, plunder of dyed garments,
Plunder of garments embroidered and dyed,
Two pieces of dyed embroidery for the neck of the looter?’
