Judges 5:19-31

VIN(i) 19 Kings came; they fought; then the kings of Canaan fought in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of silver. 20 From heaven the stars fought; from their courses they fought against Sisera. 21 The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. Tread down, O my soul, with strength. 22 Then, stamped hoofs of horses, With the gallopings, gallopings of his mighty steeds. 23 Curse Meroz, said the angel of the LORD. Curse bitterly its inhabitants, because they did not come to help the LORD, to help the LORD against the mighty. 24 "Most blessed of women is Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite; most blessed is she of women among tent dwellers. 25 He asked for water, and she gave milk; in a drinking bowl for nobles, she brought curds. 26 She reached out her hand to the peg, and her right hand for the workman's hammer; and she struck Sisera, crushed his head, and she shattered and pierced his temple. 27 At her feet he sunk, he fell, he lay; at her feet he sunk, he fell; where he sunk, there he fell down dead. 28 Through the window she looked out. Siseraʼs mother cried out through the lattice, 'Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why are the hoofbeats of his chariots delayed?' 29 The wisest of her ladies answer her; she also answers the question herself: 30 'Are they not finding and dividing the plunder? A bedmate or two bedmates for every man; colorful garments for Sisera, plunder of colorful garments, beautifully finished colorful garments, on the neck of the plunderer?' 31 “So let all your enemies perish, the LORD, but let those who love him be as the sun when it rises in its strength.” Then the land had rest forty years.
