'''Deborah''' was the third Judge of [[Isreal]]. Her story is told in the book of [[Judges (Biblical book)|Judges]] in the [[Bible]].  After [[Ehud]] dies Isreal does evil again, and the [[God|Lord]] delivers them into the hands of the [[Canaan]]ites.  

The King of Canaan, Jabin, and his captain Sisera made their stand at the river Kishon. Deborah was a prophetess at this time and the Lord told her Barak, the son of Abinoam, would lead an army against Sisera. She sent for him (he was from [[Naphtali]], she lived in [[Ephriam]]) and told the Lord had commanded him to gather an army to Mount Tabor. He asked Deborah to go with him and they marshalled ten thousand men. ''"An Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this is the day in which the Lord hath delivered Sisera into thine hand: is not the Lord gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him."''<ref>verse 14</ref> They killed all the Canaanites because the Lord "discomfited" them, and Sisera ran away on foot.

Deborah was a [[prophet]]ess at this time and the Lord told her [[Barak]], the son of Abinoam, would lead an army against Sisera. She sent for him (he was from [[Naphtali]], she lived in [[Ephriam]]) and told the Lord had commanded him to gather an army to Mount Tabor. He asked Deborah to go with him and they marshalled ten thousand men.

So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him."''<ref>verse 14</ref> They killed all the Canaanites and Sisera ran away on foot.  Sisera tried to hide in the tent of an enemy, but was killed as he slept.   

Jael was the wife of Heber. She saw Sisera and invited him in to her tent when he was running from Barak. She gave him a blanket and [[milk]] (he had asked for water) and while he was asleep and she drove a nail into his [[temple|skull]]. So Sisera died and Isreal repented.

After that military victory, there was peace in the land for 40 years.
