She was a prophetess, not a warrior. He was a general, but hesitant to lead. Together, they would face the most feared army in Canaan.

For twenty years, Israel groaned under the iron grip of King Jabin of Hazor and his ruthless commander, Sisera, who ruled the Jezreel Valley with nine hundred chariots of iron. Villages were abandoned, the roads grew silent, and the people cried out for deliverance.

Under the shade of a palm tree in the hill country of Ephraim, Deborah arose as a judge and prophetess. She was no queen, no soldier, yet the LORD chose her to summon a reluctant warrior. Her command to Barak, son of Abinoam, was clear:

"Gather ten thousand men. March to Mount Tabor. For the LORD will deliver Sisera into your hands."

But Barak hesitated. And Deborah prophesied that the glory of victory would not belong to him, but to a woman.
