A Lady Prophet Deborah and the Lady with a tent peg

King Jabin of Canaan was a cruel and wicked man. He and his army commander Sisera did evil to the Israelites for 20 years. They cried out to the Lord for deliverance and he heard their plea. A lady prophet, Deborah, judged the people and she heard from the Lord to get Barak, one of the tribe men, to take 10,000 men and to fight the Canaanites. He was not brave and would not go to fight unless she went with him to battle, which she did but she mocked him. Judges 4:8 Barak said to her, “If you will go with me, I will go, but if you will not go with me, I will not go.” And she said, “I will surely go with you.” Nevertheless, the road on which you are going will not lead to your glory, for the Lord will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. The battle ensued and the whole army was slain except the commander Sisera, who fled on foot to the tent of Jael, who was a friend to King Jabin. She offered Sisera a hiding place and drink. She covered him with a rug to hide him. She then took a tent peg and drove it into his temple, all the way through to the ground. Barak the Israelite arrived in pursuit and met Jael. She led him to the dead Sisera.
