Judges
Deborah is introduced as a prophetess who was judging Israel at that time (Judges 4:4–5). Barak is the commander Deborah summons to lead troops against Sisera, with God’s promise of victory (Judges 4:6–7).
4Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
5She lived under the palm-tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill-country of Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
6She sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh-naphtali, and said to him, Hasn`t Yahweh, the God of Israel, commanded, [saying], Go and draw to Mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?
7I will draw to you, to the river Kishon, Sisera, the captain of Jabin`s army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into your hand.
