"Kings came to fight, then battled the kings of Canaan at Taanach near the waters of Megiddo. They took no silver as the spoils of war. The stars fought from heaven; they fought against Sisera from their orbits. The current of the Kishon River swept them downstream, that ancient current, the Kishon's current! March on strongly, my soul! Then loud was the beat of the horses' hooves from the galloping, galloping war steeds! ""Meroz is cursed!' declared the angel of the LORD. "Utterly and totally cursed are its inhabitants, because they never came to the aid of the LORD, to the aid of the LORD against the valiant warriors!'"

Deborah told Barak. "Because today's the day when the LORD has dropped Sisera into your hands! Look! The LORD has already gone out ahead of you!"
