Judges 4:9-11

4:9 She said, “I will indeed go with you. But you will not gain fame ¹  on the expedition you are undertaking, ²  for the Lord will turn Sisera over to a woman.” ³  Deborah got up and went with Barak to Kedesh. 4:10 Barak summoned men from Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh. Ten thousand men followed him; ⁴  Deborah went up with him as well. 4:11 Now Heber the Kenite had moved away ⁵  from the Kenites, the descendants of Hobab, Moses’ father-in-law. He lived ⁶  near the great tree in Zaanannim near Kedesh.

³ tn Heb “for into the hands of a woman the Lord will sell Sisera.”

⁴ tn Heb “went up at his feet.”

⁵ tn Or “separated.”
