1 And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord, when Ehud was dead.
2 And the Lord sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sis´era, which dwelt in Haro´sheth of the Gentiles.
3 And the children of Israel cried unto the Lord: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.
4 And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lap´idoth, she judged Israel at that time.
5 And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah, between Ramah and Beth–el in mount E´phra-im: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
