Judges 4 tells the powerful story of how God delivered Israel from the oppressive rule of King Jabin of Canaan through unexpected leaders. After the death of Ehud, the Israelites once again turned away from God, and the Lord allowed them to be oppressed for 20 years by Jabin, whose commander Sisera had 900 iron chariots.

God raised up Deborah, a prophetess and judge over Israel, to guide the people. She summoned Barak and delivered God’s command: gather 10,000 men to fight Sisera’s army at Mount Tabor, and the Lord would give them victory. Barak agreed, but only if Deborah went with him — and she agreed, prophesying that the honor of killing Sisera would go to a woman.

The Lord threw Sisera’s forces into confusion, and Barak’s army defeated them completely. Sisera fled on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite. She welcomed him, gave him milk, and let him rest — then, while he slept, she drove a tent peg through his head, killing him.

Through Deborah’s leadership, Barak’s obedience, and Jael’s courage, God gave Israel victory over Jabin’s army, beginning the nation’s liberation from oppression.

Themes:
•God can use anyone — man or woman — to fulfill His purposes.
•Obedience brings victory, even against overwhelming odds.
•Deliverance often comes in unexpected ways.
