Judges 4:3 in Context — Judges 4

1 Les enfants d’Israël firent encore ce qui déplaît à l’Éternel, après qu’Éhud fut mort.

2 Et l’Éternel les vendit entre les mains de Jabin, roi de Canaan, qui régnait à Hatsor. Le chef de son armée était Sisera, et habitait à Haroscheth-Goïm.

3 Les enfants d’Israël crièrent à l’Éternel, car Jabin avait neuf cents chars de fer, et il opprimait avec violence les enfants d’Israël depuis vingt ans.

4 Dans ce temps-là, Débora, prophétesse, femme de Lappidoth, était juge en Israël.

5 Elle siégeait sous le palmier de Débora, entre Rama et Béthel, dans la montagne d’Éphraïm; et les enfants d’Israël montaient vers elle pour être jugés.
