00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.140
Ethan: Welcome to Immerse: the
daily bible reading experience.

00:00:03.257 --> 00:00:04.757
Day 100 and 74

00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:07.530
the Israelites did evil
in the Lord's sight.

00:00:08.220 --> 00:00:11.580
They forgot about the Lord their
God, and they served the images

00:00:11.580 --> 00:00:13.560
of Baal and the Asherah poles.

00:00:14.040 --> 00:00:18.330
Then the Lord burned with anger
against Israel and he turned them

00:00:18.360 --> 00:00:23.580
over to King Khan, rich of Aram
Neum, and the Israelites served

00:00:23.720 --> 00:00:25.710
Khan Rich Theum for eight years.

00:00:27.375 --> 00:00:31.215
But when the people of Israel cried
out to the Lord for help, the Lord

00:00:31.215 --> 00:00:33.165
raised up a rescuer to save them.

00:00:33.675 --> 00:00:35.055
His name was Othniel.

00:00:35.565 --> 00:00:40.755
The son of Caleb's younger brother
Ken, the spirit of the Lord came upon

00:00:40.755 --> 00:00:43.185
him and he became Israel's judge.

00:00:43.485 --> 00:00:48.645
He went to war against King
Khan, RIS of Arum, and the Lord

00:00:48.645 --> 00:00:50.595
gave off Neil victory over him.

00:00:51.435 --> 00:00:54.375
So there was peace in
the land for 40 years.

00:00:55.200 --> 00:01:02.250
Then Othniel son of Ken died once again,
the Israelites did evil in the Lord's

00:01:02.250 --> 00:01:07.920
sight and the Lord gave King Lon of Moab
control over Israel because of their evil.

00:01:08.850 --> 00:01:13.290
Lon enlisted the Ammonites and
the Amalekites as allies, and then

00:01:13.290 --> 00:01:17.130
he went out and defeated Israel
taking possession of Jericho, the

00:01:17.130 --> 00:01:22.980
city of Palms, and the Israelites
served Lon of Moab for 18 years.

00:01:24.105 --> 00:01:28.065
But when the people of Israel cried
out to the Lord for help, the Lord

00:01:28.065 --> 00:01:30.045
again raised up a rescuer to save them.

00:01:30.555 --> 00:01:35.835
His name was Ehud, son of Gira, a
left-handed man of the tribe of Benjamin.

00:01:37.005 --> 00:01:41.595
The Israelites sent Ehud to deliver
their tribute money to King Lon of Moab.

00:01:42.315 --> 00:01:46.575
So Ehud made a double-edged dagger
that was about a foot long, and

00:01:46.575 --> 00:01:49.845
he strapped it to his right thigh,
keeping it hidden under his clothing.

00:01:50.535 --> 00:01:56.445
He brought the tribute money to Lon, who
was very fat after delivering the payment.

00:01:57.015 --> 00:01:59.745
Ehh had started home with those
who had helped carry the tribute.

00:02:00.645 --> 00:02:04.245
But when Ehh had reached the Stone
idols near Gilgal, he turned back.

00:02:04.935 --> 00:02:08.805
He came to Lon and said, I
have a secret message for you.

00:02:09.645 --> 00:02:13.005
So the king commanded his
servants be quiet, and he

00:02:13.010 --> 00:02:14.415
sent them all out of the room.

00:02:15.825 --> 00:02:19.935
He had walked over to Lon, who was
sitting alone in a cool upstairs room.

00:02:20.550 --> 00:02:24.150
And he had said, I have a
message from God for you.

00:02:24.990 --> 00:02:29.370
As King Lon rose from his seat, he had
reached with his left hand, pulled out

00:02:29.370 --> 00:02:33.720
the dagger, strapped to his right thigh,
and plunged it into the king's belly.

00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:39.300
The dagger went so deep that the handle
disappeared beneath the king's fat.

00:02:40.350 --> 00:02:44.490
So Eha did not pull out the dagger
and the king's bowels emptied.

00:02:45.330 --> 00:02:49.920
Then IHI closed and locked the doors of
the room and escaped down the latrine.

00:02:51.150 --> 00:02:54.480
After IHI was gone, the king's
servants returned and found the

00:02:54.485 --> 00:02:56.310
doors to the upstairs room locked.

00:02:56.970 --> 00:03:00.390
They thought he might be using the
latrine in the room, so they waited.

00:03:00.770 --> 00:03:04.560
But when the king didn't come
out, after a long delay, they

00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:06.180
became concerned and got a key.

00:03:07.020 --> 00:03:11.490
And when they opened the doors, they
found their master dead on the floor.

00:03:12.975 --> 00:03:16.305
While the servants were waiting,
he had escaped, passing the

00:03:16.305 --> 00:03:18.315
stone idols on his way to Sierra.

00:03:19.425 --> 00:03:23.775
When he arrived in the hill country of
Ephraim, he had sounded a call to arms.

00:03:24.405 --> 00:03:27.165
Then he let a band of Israel
lights down from the hills.

00:03:28.185 --> 00:03:28.965
Follow me?

00:03:29.085 --> 00:03:33.285
He said, for the Lord has given
you victory over Moab, your enemy.

00:03:34.035 --> 00:03:34.995
So they followed him.

00:03:35.760 --> 00:03:40.140
The Israelites took control of the shallow
crossings of the Jordan River across from

00:03:40.140 --> 00:03:42.750
Moab, preventing anyone from crossing.

00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:47.910
They attacked the Moabites and killed
about 10,000 of their strongest

00:03:48.300 --> 00:03:50.160
and most able-bodied warriors.

00:03:50.700 --> 00:03:56.490
Not one of them escaped, so Moab was
conquered by Israel that day and there

00:03:56.490 --> 00:03:58.890
was peace in the land for 80 years

00:04:01.020 --> 00:04:04.650
after IHI Shamgar, son of
an ath, rescued his reel.

00:04:05.265 --> 00:04:09.165
He once killed 600
Philistines with an ox Godde.

00:04:11.205 --> 00:04:15.465
After Hehis death, the Israelites
again did evil in the Lord's sight,

00:04:16.305 --> 00:04:20.505
so the Lord turned them over to King
Jaben of Hazel, a Canaanite king.

00:04:21.555 --> 00:04:26.835
The commander of his army was Cicero,
who lived in Roha, haem Cicero, who

00:04:26.835 --> 00:04:32.625
had 900 iron chariots, ruthlessly
oppressed the Israelites for 20 years.

00:04:33.495 --> 00:04:36.195
Then the people of Israel
cried out to the Lord for help.

00:04:37.605 --> 00:04:40.485
Deborah, the wife of Labrador,
was a prophet who was

00:04:40.485 --> 00:04:42.045
judging Israel at that time.

00:04:42.765 --> 00:04:46.995
She would sit under the palm of
Deborah, between Rama and Bethel in

00:04:46.995 --> 00:04:51.195
the hill country of Rahi, and the
Israelite would go to her for judgment.

00:04:52.155 --> 00:04:56.865
One day she sent for Barak son
of Binum, who lived in Kadesh

00:04:57.015 --> 00:04:58.005
in the land of nafta, Lai.

00:04:59.130 --> 00:05:03.450
She said to him, this is what the
Lord the God of Israel commands.

00:05:03.450 --> 00:05:09.240
You call out 10,000 warriors from the
tribes of Naftali and Zein at Mount

00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:14.970
Tabor and I will call out Cera commander
of Jain's army along with his chariots

00:05:14.970 --> 00:05:17.400
and warriors to the Cason River.

00:05:18.090 --> 00:05:20.280
There I will give you victory over him.

00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:26.190
Barak told her I will go,
but only if you go with me.

00:05:27.150 --> 00:05:27.720
Very well.

00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:32.940
She replied, I will go with you, but
you'll receive no honor in this venture.

00:05:33.510 --> 00:05:34.560
For the Lord's victory.

00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:37.080
Over Cicero will be at
the hands of a woman.

00:05:38.370 --> 00:05:42.210
So Deborah went with
Barak to Kade at Kash.

00:05:42.210 --> 00:05:47.610
Barrack called together the tribes of
Zein and Naftali, and 10,000 warriors.

00:05:47.610 --> 00:05:48.450
Went up with him.

00:05:49.140 --> 00:05:50.550
Deborah also went with him.

00:05:51.765 --> 00:05:57.075
Now Heber, the Ken, a descendant of Moses
brother-in-law, Hoba, had moved away from

00:05:57.075 --> 00:06:01.935
the other members of his tribe and pitched
his tent by the oak of Za m near Kash.

00:06:03.105 --> 00:06:07.965
When Cicero was told that Barak son of
Binum had gone up to Mount Tabor, he

00:06:07.965 --> 00:06:13.515
called for all 900 of his iron chariots
and all of his warriors, and they marched

00:06:13.515 --> 00:06:16.065
from Roche Hago to the Kaon River.

00:06:17.175 --> 00:06:20.010
Then Deborah said to Barak, Get ready.

00:06:20.490 --> 00:06:24.450
This is the day the Lord will
give you victory over cice for

00:06:24.450 --> 00:06:26.220
the Lord is marching ahead of you.

00:06:27.210 --> 00:06:32.010
So Barak led his 10,000 warriors down
the slopes of Mount Tabor into battle.

00:06:32.940 --> 00:06:37.050
When Barak attacked the Lord
threw Cicero and all his chariots

00:06:37.050 --> 00:06:38.670
into warriors into a panic.

00:06:39.660 --> 00:06:42.900
Cicero leaped down from his
chariot and escaped on foot.

00:06:43.710 --> 00:06:48.600
Then Barak chased the chariots and the
enemy army all the way to Roche Hago.

00:06:49.035 --> 00:06:51.225
Killing all of Cicero's warriors.

00:06:52.005 --> 00:06:54.165
Not a single one was left alive.

00:06:55.335 --> 00:06:58.245
Meanwhile, Cicero ran to the tent of jail.

00:06:58.395 --> 00:07:02.415
The wife of Heber, the Ken Knight,
because he's family, was on friendly

00:07:02.415 --> 00:07:07.005
terms with King Jaben of Hazel jail,
went out to meet Cicero and said

00:07:07.005 --> 00:07:09.255
to him, come into my tent, sir.

00:07:09.555 --> 00:07:10.125
Come in.

00:07:10.395 --> 00:07:11.385
Don't be afraid.

00:07:12.345 --> 00:07:15.045
So he went into her tent and
she covered him with a blanket.

00:07:16.185 --> 00:07:17.595
Please give me some water.

00:07:17.625 --> 00:07:19.365
He said, I'm thirsty.

00:07:20.055 --> 00:07:23.595
So she gave him some milk from a
leather bag and covered him again,

00:07:24.945 --> 00:07:26.415
stand at the door of the tent.

00:07:26.565 --> 00:07:31.785
He told her if anybody comes and asks
you if there is anyone here, say no.

00:07:33.195 --> 00:07:38.145
But when Cera fell asleep from exhaustion,
jail quietly crept up to him with

00:07:38.145 --> 00:07:40.095
a hammer and tent peg in her hand.

00:07:40.965 --> 00:07:44.775
Then she drove the tent peg through
his temple and into the ground.

00:07:45.570 --> 00:07:51.210
So he died when Barak came looking
for Cera jail went out to meet

00:07:51.210 --> 00:07:55.890
him, she said, come and I will show
you the man you are looking for.

00:07:56.850 --> 00:08:01.680
So he followed her into the tent
and found cera lying there dead with

00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:03.210
the tent peg through his temple.

00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:09.300
So on that day, Israel saw God
defeated Jabon, the Canaanite King.

00:08:10.320 --> 00:08:14.340
And from that time on, Israel became
stronger and stronger against King

00:08:14.340 --> 00:08:17.190
Jabin until they finally destroyed him.

00:08:18.840 --> 00:08:23.370
On that day, Deborah and Barak
son of Binum sang this song.

00:08:24.870 --> 00:08:28.980
Israel's leaders took charge
and the people gladly followed.

00:08:29.520 --> 00:08:31.050
Praise the Lord.

00:08:31.830 --> 00:08:35.520
Listen, you kings pay
attention, you mighty rulers,

00:08:36.270 --> 00:08:37.860
for I will sing to the Lord.

00:08:38.325 --> 00:08:41.355
I will make music to the
Lord, the God of Israel.

00:08:42.465 --> 00:08:46.185
Lord, when you set out from sear
and marched across the fields of

00:08:46.215 --> 00:08:51.915
edem, the earth trembled and the
cloudy skies poured down rain.

00:08:53.085 --> 00:08:58.515
The mountains quaked in the presence of
the Lord, the God of Mount Sinai, in the

00:08:58.515 --> 00:09:01.395
presence of the Lord, the God of Israel.

00:09:02.685 --> 00:09:06.945
In the days of Shamgar, son of
Anth, and in the days of jail.

00:09:07.905 --> 00:09:12.675
People avoided the main roads and
travelers stayed unwinding pathways.

00:09:13.425 --> 00:09:17.145
There were a few people left in the
villages of Israel until Deborah

00:09:17.175 --> 00:09:19.095
arose as a mother for Israel.

00:09:20.235 --> 00:09:26.505
When Israel chose new Gods war
erupted at the city gates, yet not

00:09:26.505 --> 00:09:31.905
a shield or spear could be seen
among 40,000 warriors in Israel.

00:09:33.225 --> 00:09:37.575
My heart is with the commanders of Israel
with those who volunteered for war.

00:09:38.085 --> 00:09:39.345
Praise the Lord.

00:09:40.335 --> 00:09:42.855
Consider this you who
ride on fine donkeys.

00:09:43.455 --> 00:09:47.535
You who sit on fancy saddle blankets
and you who walk along the road.

00:09:48.465 --> 00:09:51.795
Listen to the village musicians
gathered at the watering holes.

00:09:52.695 --> 00:09:56.865
They recount the righteous victories
of the Lord and the victories

00:09:56.865 --> 00:09:57.945
of his villagers in Israel.

00:09:58.935 --> 00:10:02.715
Then the people of the Lord
march down to the city gates.

00:10:03.885 --> 00:10:05.085
Wake up Deborah.

00:10:05.505 --> 00:10:06.255
Wake up.

00:10:06.885 --> 00:10:07.455
Wake up.

00:10:07.935 --> 00:10:09.945
Wake up and sing a song.

00:10:10.755 --> 00:10:14.175
Arise Barak, lead your Captives away.

00:10:14.235 --> 00:10:17.205
Son of Binum, down from Tabor.

00:10:17.205 --> 00:10:19.365
March to the Few against the Nobles.

00:10:20.205 --> 00:10:23.655
The people of the Lord marched
down against Mighty Warriors.

00:10:24.675 --> 00:10:29.025
They came down from Rahi, a land
that once belonged to the Amalekites.

00:10:29.865 --> 00:10:33.585
They followed you, Benjamin,
with your troops from May.

00:10:33.585 --> 00:10:37.575
Here, the commanders
marched down from Zein came.

00:10:37.575 --> 00:10:42.225
Those who carry a commander
staff, the princes of Issachar

00:10:42.285 --> 00:10:44.055
were with Deborah and Barak.

00:10:45.225 --> 00:10:48.285
They followed Barak
rushing into the valley.

00:10:49.065 --> 00:10:52.005
But in the tribe of Reuben,
there was great indecision.

00:10:53.025 --> 00:10:56.385
Why did you sit at home among
the sheep folds to hear the

00:10:56.385 --> 00:10:58.245
shepherds whistle for their flocks?

00:10:59.235 --> 00:10:59.835
Yes.

00:10:59.865 --> 00:11:02.625
In the tribe of Reuben,
there was great indecision.

00:11:03.585 --> 00:11:05.445
Gilead remained east of the Jordan.

00:11:05.895 --> 00:11:07.605
And why did Dan stay home?

00:11:08.715 --> 00:11:14.085
Asher sat unmoved at the seashore
remaining in his harbors, but Zein

00:11:14.445 --> 00:11:18.315
risked his life, as did Naftaly
on the heights of the battlefield.

00:11:19.545 --> 00:11:26.085
The Kings of Canaan came and fought
at Teac near Meto Springs, but they

00:11:26.085 --> 00:11:27.915
carried off no silver treasures.

00:11:28.725 --> 00:11:30.585
The stars fought from heaven.

00:11:31.185 --> 00:11:33.735
The stars in their orbits
fought against Cicero.

00:11:34.815 --> 00:11:37.215
The Kaon River swept them away.

00:11:37.605 --> 00:11:42.705
That ancient torrent, the
Kaon March on with courage.

00:11:42.705 --> 00:11:43.125
My soul.

00:11:44.430 --> 00:11:49.020
Then the horse's hooves hammered
the ground, the galloping galloping

00:11:49.020 --> 00:11:50.850
of Cicero's mighty steeds.

00:11:51.690 --> 00:11:55.860
Let the people of Mirah be cursed,
said the angel of the Lord.

00:11:56.400 --> 00:12:00.690
Let them be utterly cursed because
they did not come to help the Lord.

00:12:01.260 --> 00:12:03.780
To help the Lord against
the mighty warriors.

00:12:04.860 --> 00:12:07.290
Most blessed among women is jail.

00:12:07.380 --> 00:12:13.620
The wife of Hebrew, the Ken, may she be
blessed Above all women who live in tents.

00:12:14.475 --> 00:12:20.025
Cera asked for water and she gave
him milk in a bowl fit for nobles.

00:12:20.055 --> 00:12:21.225
She brought him yogurt.

00:12:22.215 --> 00:12:26.595
Then with her left hand, she reached
for a tent peg, and with her right

00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:32.025
hand for the workman's hammer, she
struck CSRA with the hammer, crushing

00:12:32.030 --> 00:12:34.605
his head with a shattering blow.

00:12:34.815 --> 00:12:36.315
She pierced his temples.

00:12:37.215 --> 00:12:37.875
He sank.

00:12:38.415 --> 00:12:39.135
He fell.

00:12:39.735 --> 00:12:42.765
He lays still at her
feet and where he sank.

00:12:43.410 --> 00:12:43.770
There.

00:12:43.770 --> 00:12:46.380
He died from the window.

00:12:46.380 --> 00:12:49.170
CSRA's mother looked
out through the window.

00:12:49.170 --> 00:12:54.510
She watched for his return saying,
why is his chariot so long and coming?

00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:57.600
Why don't we hear the
sound of chariot wheels?

00:12:58.620 --> 00:12:59.850
Her wise women answer?

00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:02.280
And she repeats these words to herself.

00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:08.040
They must be dividing the captured
plunder with a woman or two for every man.

00:13:08.970 --> 00:13:14.130
And there will be colorful robes for cice
A and colorful embroidered robes for me.

00:13:14.970 --> 00:13:19.620
Yes, the plunder will include colorful
robes embroidered on both sides.

00:13:20.820 --> 00:13:26.100
Lord, may all your enemies die like
cice A, but may those who love you

00:13:26.105 --> 00:13:28.710
rise like the sun in all its power.

00:13:30.030 --> 00:13:33.570
Then there was peace in
the land for 40 years.

00:13:35.895 --> 00:13:38.745
This concludes today's
Immerse Reading experience.
