The Story..Deborah was a Judge of Israel at a time when Israel was lost and confused and doing things that they weren't supposed to be doing.
God tells Deborah to instruct Barak who was the commander of Israel at the time, to fight the Canaanites who were controlling Israel a little bit. Barak asked Deborah to come and she did so. At this point Israel's 10,000 troops were winning so Sisera the commander of Canaanite army fled from the battle and found a tent. In the tent there was a women by the name of Jael. Sisera fell asleep quite quickly and Jael sneaked outside the tent and found a Tent Peg and a hammer to and drilled it into the temple of Sisera. The body was later discovered by the Israel Army. The land has peace for 40 years. |
