Under Gods Command
Deborah and Barak
Judges 4:6-8 She (Deborah) sent for Barak son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali and said to him, “The LORD, the God of Israel, commands you; Go, take with you ten thousand men of Naphtali and Zebulun and lead the way to Mount Tabor. I will lure Sisera, the commander of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his troops to the Kishon River and give him into your hands.” Barak said to her, “If you go with me, I will go; but if you don’t go with me, I won’t go.”
Judges 4:9-10 “Very well,” Deborah said, “I will go with you. But because of the way you are going about this, the honor will not be yours, for the LORD will hand Sisera over to a woman.” So Deborah went with Barak to Kedesh, Where he summoned Zebulun and Naphtali. Ten thousand men followed him, and Deborah also went with him.
Judges 4:11 Now Heber the Kenites had left the other Kenites, the descendants of Hobab, Moses brother-in-law, and pitched his tent by the great tree in Zaanannim near Kedesh.
Very Important piece here: Heber was Jael’s husband (4:17). He was from the Kenite tribe, descendants of Moses father-in-law, and longtime allies of Israel. But for some reason, Heber decided to remain neutral in this war, maybe because Jabin’s army appeared to have the military advantage. It was probably Heber who told Sisera that the Israelites were camped near Mount Tabor. Although Heber threw in his lot with Jabin and his forces, his wife, Jael, did not.
Don’t forget that Sisera was the commander of Jabin Army, a king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor.
