亞倫的姐姐米利暗是個先知，她手拿小鼓，帶領婦女擊鼓跳舞，

以色列人啊，我要重建你們的家園，你們要再次拿起鈴鼓與歡樂的人一同跳舞。

於是，耶弗他便跟他們一起回去。民眾擁立他做他們的首領和元帥。耶弗他在米斯巴將之前所說的話在耶和華面前重申一遍。

當時，亞捫人整裝備戰，在基列安營；以色列人也集合起來，在米斯巴安營。

歌唱的在前，奏樂的殿後，搖手鼓的少女居中。

「我必將施恩和禱告的靈澆灌在大衛家和耶路撒冷的居民身上。他們必仰望我——他們所刺的那位，如喪獨子一般為祂哀傷，如喪長子一般為祂痛哭。

世上的君王、萬國、首領和審判官啊，少男、少女、老人和孩童啊，你們要讚美耶和華！

耶穌快到城門口時，從城裡走出一隊送殯的人，死者是一個寡婦的獨子，有許多城中的人陪著她。

那時，少女要歡然起舞，老人和青年要一起快樂。我要使他們轉憂為喜，我要安慰他們，使他們歡喜，不再憂愁。

那一天，底波拉和巴拉高唱凱歌：「以色列的首領身先士卒，民眾前仆後繼，你們要讚美耶和華！君王和首領啊，請留心細聽！我要向耶和華歌唱，我要歌頌以色列的上帝耶和華。耶和華啊，當你從西珥出來，走過以東時，大地震動，天上降雨。在西奈山的耶和華面前，在以色列的上帝耶和華面前，群山震動。在亞拿的兒子珊迦與雅億的時代，大路行人絕跡，旅客繞道而行。我底波拉做以色列之母以前，以色列的鄉村人煙稀少。以色列人選擇新的神明，便戰禍臨門，四萬以色列人中找不到一矛一盾。我的心追隨以色列的首領，追隨民中踴躍出征的人。你們要讚美耶和華！「你們騎白驢的、坐繡花毯子的、步行的，都要傾聽。歌樂手聚集在井旁，傳揚耶和華和祂以色列子民的勝利。耶和華的子民都來到城門口。「底波拉啊，來吧，來吧，歌唱吧！亞比挪庵的兒子巴拉啊，來吧，帶走你的戰俘吧！倖存的以色列人回應他們的首領，耶和華的子民為我攻擊勇士。他們有些來自原屬亞瑪力人的以法蓮，有些來自便雅憫，統領出自瑪吉，將官出自西布倫。以薩迦的首領與底波拉同往，以薩迦人隨巴拉同去，眾人一起衝進山谷，呂便人卻猶豫不決。呂便人為什麼坐在羊圈中聽悠悠笛聲？他們舉棋不定。基列人留在約旦河對岸。但人為什麼停留在船上？亞設人在海岸靜坐，在港口逗留。但西布倫人和拿弗他利人卻拼死鏖戰沙場。「迦南諸王來戰，來到米吉多河邊的他納交戰，卻沒有掠走金銀。星辰從天上、從它們的軌道攻擊西西拉。古老的基順河沖走了敵人。我的心啊，要奮勇向前！蹄聲隆隆，駿馬疾馳！「耶和華的天使說，『要咒詛米羅斯，要重重地咒詛米羅斯的居民，因為他們沒有幫助耶和華，沒有幫助耶和華攻擊強敵。』「基尼人希百的妻子雅億是婦人中最有福的，是住帳篷的婦人中最有福的。西西拉求水，雅億給他奶喝，用珍貴的碗盛上乳酪。雅億左手拿起橛子，右手拿起工匠的錘子，猛擊西西拉，打碎了他的頭，刺透了他的太陽穴。西西拉屈身倒下，死在她腳前，一動不動地躺在那裡。「他母親憑窗遠眺，隔著窗櫺喊道，『為什麼他的戰車遲遲不回？為什麼還聽不到車輪聲？』聰明的宮女安慰她，她卻依然自言自語，『莫非他們在搜索、瓜分戰利品？也許每人得到一兩個少女，西西拉也會分得從俘虜身上奪來的繡花彩巾。』耶和華啊，願你的敵人都像西西拉一樣滅亡！願愛你的人如升起的太陽，光輝熠熠！」此後，以色列安享太平四十年。

人群中有一個人高聲喊叫：「老師，求求你看看我的兒子吧！他是我的獨生子，

要擊鼓跳舞讚美祂，要撥弦吹笛讚美祂！

大衛殺死了非利士人歌利亞，以色列人凱旋歸來，婦女們擊鼓彈琴、載歌載舞地從以色列各城出來迎接掃羅王。她們跳舞歌唱：「掃羅殺死千千，大衛殺死萬萬。」
