Deborah was the third Judge of Isreal. After Ehud dies Isreal does evil again, and the Lord delivers them into the hands of the Canaanites.
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 th
Jael 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 skull. So Sisera died and Isreal repented.
