Dommerne 4,3

Israel
PrayerSuffering

1 Igjen gjorde israelittene det som var ondt i Herrens øyne etter at Ehud var død.

2 Da overgav Herren dem i hendene på Jabin, kongen av Kanaan, som regjerte i Hasor. Sisera, hans hærfører, var stasjonert i Haroset-hagojim.

Fordi Sisera hadde ni hundre jernvogner og hadde undertrykt israelittene hardt i tjue år, ropte de til Herren om hjelp.

4 På den tiden var Debora, en profetinne og Lappidots kone, dommer i Israel.

5 Hun holdt rett under Deboras palme mellom Rama og Betel i Efraims fjellområde, og israelittene kom opp til henne for å få sine tvister avgjort.
