== Battle of Kishon ==
−
The Israelite general [[Barak]], incited by [[Judge]] [[Deborah]], had recruited a force, ten thousand strong, to draw Jabin's forces into battle and destroy them. Jabin's general, Sisera, prepared to fight against Barak with nine hundred [[iron]]-armored chariots and an undetermined number of infantrymen. But on the day of the battle, torrential rains had swollen the Kishon River to overflowing and turned its banks into mud. Sisera's chariots couldn't move in the mud and thus were extremely vulnerable when Barak's troops rushed down from [[Mount Tabor]] and attacked them in full force. ({{Bible ref|book=Judges|chap=4|verses=12-16}})

Sisera deserted his troops and tried to escape. He ran to the camp of the Kenites and came to Jael's tent.
