Judges 4:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Judges 4:8

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’?”

8 And Barak said to her, “If you will go with me, then I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go!”

9 So she said, “I will surely go with you; nevertheless there will be no glory for you in the journey you are taking, for the Lord will ^asell Sisera into the hand of a woman.” Then Deborah arose and went with Barak to Kedesh.

10 And Barak called ^aZebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; he went up with ten thousand men ^bunder his command, and Deborah went up with him.

11 Now Heber ^athe Kenite, of the children of ^bHobab the father-in-law of Moses, had separated himself from the Kenites and pitched his tent near the terebinth tree at Zaanaim, ^cwhich is beside Kedesh.
