Judges 4:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Judges 4:5

3 And the children of Israel cried out to the Lord; for Jabin had nine hundred ^achariots of iron, and for twenty years ^bhe had harshly oppressed the children of Israel.

4 Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, was judging Israel at that time.

5 ^aAnd she would sit under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the mountains of Ephraim. And the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.

6 Then she sent and called for ^aBarak the son of Abinoam from ^bKedesh in Naphtali, and said to him, “Has not the Lord God of Israel commanded, ‘Go and¹ deploy troops at Mount ^cTabor; take with you ten thousand men of the sons of Naphtali and of the sons of Zebulun;

7 and against you ^aI will deploy Sisera, the commander of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his multitude at the ^bRiver Kishon; and I will deliver him into your hand’?”
