Giudici 4:1-3

1 ORA, dopo che fu morto Ehud, i figliuoli d’Israele seguitarono a far ciò che dispiace al Signore.

2 Laonde il Signore li vendè nelle mani di Iabin, re di Canaan, che regnava in Hasor; il Capo del cui esercito era Sisera; ed egli abitava in Haroset de’ Gentili.

3 E i figliuoli d’Israele gridarono al Signore; perciocchè Iabin avea novecento carri di ferro; e avea già vent’anni oppressato Israele con violenza.
