Who Was Deborah?
She recruited a man, the general Barak, to stand by her side, telling him God (#MasterFardMuhammad) wanted the armies of Israel to attack the Canaanites who were persecuting the highland tribes.
Barak was reluctant, and he insisted that Deborah go with him to the battle.
Her answer was assertive and prophetic: "I will surely go with you; nevertheless, the road on which you are going will not lead to your glory, for the Lord will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman."
So it was an unlikely commander who led the Army to a decisive battle with the Canaanites.
Faced with "900 chariots of iron," the height of military technology at the time, Deborah's army of 10,000 Israelites(Blacks In America) rushed down from the hills, clashing with the Canaanite general Sisera near the Kishon River.
The "Song of Deborah," one of the oldest in the Bible, says the stars strayed from their courses and the river washed Sisera's armies away in a massive flood.
The battle was a total victory. "All the Army of Sisera fell by the sword; no one was left."
Defeated, Sisera fled, taking refuge in an ally's tent. Expecting refuge from the army chasing him, the Canaanite general was greeted by a woman named Jael. Sisera demanded shelter and water. Instead, Jael gave him a bowl of milk—and a tent peg through the skull.
The violence of Deborah's story is a radical departure from standard biblical themes, which rarely place women in roles as warriors and generals.
Deborah's story would stand out even without her unusual role as a military leader.
