Explanation

Deborah was a prophet and judge who led Israel to victory over King Jabin of Canaan. She called Barak to lead the army and went with him to battle.

God gave Israel victory over Jabin’s powerful army, which had nine hundred iron chariots. The enemy commander Sisera was killed by a woman named Jael.

Deborah’s leadership shows that God can use anyone, including women, to accomplish His purposes.
