Judges 5:20

← Judges 5:19	Judges 5:20 (KJV)	Judges 5:21 →
The kings came [and] fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.	They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.	The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength.
