1 After Ehud died, the people of Israel again did what the Lord said was wrong.
2 So he let Jabin, a king of Canaan, defeat Israel. Jabin ruled in the city of Hazor. Sisera was the commander of Jabin’s army. Sisera lived in Harosheth Haggoyim.
3 He had 900 iron chariots and was very cruel to the people of Israel for 20 years. So they cried to the Lord for help.
4 There was a prophetess named Deborah. She was the wife of Lappidoth. She was judge of Israel at that time.
