Judges 4:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Judges 4:7

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’?”

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.
