Judges 4:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Judges 4:1

Deborah

1 When Ehud was dead, ^athe children of Israel again did ^bevil in the sight of the Lord.

2 So the Lord ^asold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in ^bHazor. The commander of his army was ^cSisera, who dwelt in ^dHarosheth Hagoyim.

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.
