19 Canaanite kings fought usat Taanach by the streamnear Megiddo—but they couldn't rob usof our silver.
20 From their pathways in the skythe stars fought Sisera,
21 and his soldiers were swept awayby the ancient Kishon River.I will march on and be brave.
22 Sisera's horses galloped off,their hoofs thunderingin retreat.
23 The Lord's angel said,“Put a curse on Meroz Town!Its people refusedto help the Lord fighthis powerful enemies.”
24 But honor Jael,the wife of Heberfrom the Kenite clan.Give more honor to herthan to any other womanwho lives in tents.Yes, give more honor to herthan to any other woman.
25 Sisera asked for water,but Jael gave him milk—cream in a fancy cup.
