Who was Deborah in the Bible, and how did one woman rise to lead Israel into war when no man would?
Deborah was a prophetess, judge, and one of the most remarkable leaders in the Book of Judges. At a time when Israel was oppressed by the Canaanite king Jabin and his commander Sisera, Deborah summoned Barak and called Israel to battle.
In this Bible documentary, we explore the complete story of Deborah and Barak, the gathering of 10,000 men, the battle against Sisera, the role of Jael, and why Deborah became one of the most powerful women in the Bible.
Why did Barak refuse to go into battle without Deborah? Why did Deborah agree to go with him? What happened at Mount Tabor? How was Sisera defeated? And why did Deborah prophesy that the final honor would go to a woman?
We examine Judges 4 and Judges 5, including Deborah’s leadership, Barak’s army, Sisera’s chariots, Jael’s shocking role, and the Song of Deborah — one of the oldest victory songs in Scripture.
From oppression and fear to courage, war, prophecy, and victory, this is the complete story of Deborah — the woman who led 10,000 men into war when no man would.
