ight thigh.
17 And he brought the present to Eglon melech of Moav:
and Eglon was a very fat man.
18 And when he had made an end of offering the present,
he sent away the people that brought the present.
19 But he himself turned back from the stone quarries that
were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret message to you,
O melech: who then said, Keep silent. And all that stood
by him went out from him.
20 And Ehud came to him; and he was sitting in a cool
room, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I
have a message from Elohim to you. And he arose out of
his seat.
21 And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger
from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:
22 And the handle also went in after the blade; and the
body fat closed over the blade, so that he could not draw
the dagger out of his belly; and it came out behind him.
23 Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the
doors of the cool room upon him, and locked them.
24 When he had gone out, his avadim came; and when
they saw that, see, the doors of the cool room were
locked, they said, Surely he covers his feet in his summer
bedroom.
25 And they tarried until they were ashamed: and, see, he
did not open the doors of the cool room; therefore they
took a key, and opened them: and, see, their master was
fallen down dead on the earth.
26 And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed
beyond the stone quarries, and escaped to Seriah.
27 And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a
shofar in the mountain of Efrayim, and the children of
Yisrael went down with him from the mount, and he went
before them.
28 And he said to them, Follow after me: for vuvh has
delivered your enemies the Moavites into your hand. And
they went down after him, and took the fords of the
Yarden River toward Moav, and allowed not any man to
pass over.
29 And they killed from Moav at that time about ten
thousand men, all were robust, and all men of valor; and
there escaped not a single man.
30 So Moav was subdued that day under the hand of
Yisrael. And the land had rest eighty years.
31 And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who
killed of the Plishtim six hundred men with an ox goad:
and he also delivered Yisrael.
And the children of Yisrael again did evil in the sight
of vuvh, when Ehud was dead.
2 And vuvh sold them into the hand of Yavin melech of
Kanaan, that reigned in Hatzor; the captain of the army
was Sisra, who dwelt in Harosheth Ha-Goyim.
3 And the children of Yisrael cried to vuvh: for Sisra had
nine hundred mirkavot of iron, and for twenty years he
harshly oppressed the children of Yisrael.
4 And Devorah, a neviyah, the wife of Lapidoth, gave
mishpat to Yisrael at that time.
5 And she dwelt under the palm eytz of Devorah between
Ramah and Beth-El in Mount Efrayim: and the children
of Yisrael came up to her for mishpat. 719

6 And she sent and called Barak the son of Avinoam out
of Kedesh-Naphtali, and said to him, Has not vuvh
SHOPHTIM - JUDGES
- 172 -
Elohim of Yisrael commanded us saying, Go and draw
near towards Mount Tavor, and take with you ten
thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the
children of Zevulun?
7 And I will draw to you Sisra, the captain of Yavin's
army, with his mirkavot and his multitude; and I will
deliver him into your hand.
8 And Barak said to her, If you will go with me, then I
will go: but if you will not go with me, then I will not
go. 720
9 And she said, I will surely go with you: nevertheless the
journey that you take shall not be for your honor; for vuvh
shall sell Sisra into the hand of a woman. And Devorah
arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
10 And Barak called Zevulun and Naphtali to Kedesh;
and he went up with ten thousand men at his feet: and
Devorah went up with him.
11 Now Chever the Kenite, who was of the children of
Chovav the abba-in-law of Moshe, had separated himself
from the Kenites, and camped his tent to the plain of
Zaanayim, which is by Kedesh.
12 And they showed Sisra that Barak the son of Avinoam
had gone up to Mount Tavor.
13 And Sisra gathered together all his mirkavot, even nine
hundred mirkavot of iron, and all the people that were
with him, from Harosheth Ha-Goyim to the river of
Kishon.
14 And Devorah said to Barak, Go up; for this is the day
in which vuvh has delivered Sisra into your hand: has not
vuvh gone out before you? So Barak went down from
Mount Tavor, and ten thousand men after him.
15 And vuvh destroyed Sisra, and all his mirkavot, and all
his army, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that
Sisra went down off his mirkavah, and fled away on his
feet.
16 But Barak pursued after the mirkavot, and after the
army, to Charosheth Ha-Goyim: and all the army of Sisra
fell by the edge of the sword; and there was not a man
left.
17 However Sisra fled away on his feet to the tent of Yah-
El the wife of Chever the Kenite: for there was shalom
between Yavin the melech of Chazor and the bayit of
Chever the Kenite.
18 And Yah-El went out to meet Sisra, and said to him,
Turn in, my master, turn in to me; fear not. And when he
had turned in to her into the tent, she covered him with a
mantle.
19 And he said to her, Give me, I beg you, a little mayim
to drink, for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk,
and gave him to drink, and covered him.
20 Again he said to her, Stand in the door of the tent, and
it shall be, when any man does come and asks you, Is
there any man here? You shall say, No.
21 Then Yah-El Cheber's wife took a nail of the tent, and
took a hammer in her hand, and went quietly to him, and
smote the nail into his temples, and nailed it into the
ground: for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died.
22 And, see, as Barak pursued Sisra, Yah-El came out to
meet him, and said to him, Come, and I will show you the
man whom you seek. And when he came into her tent,
see, Sisra lay dead, and the nail was in his temple.
23 So Elohim subdued on that day Yavin the melech of
Kanaan before the children of Yisrael.
