Frequently Asked Questions

Who was Deborah and what made her leadership unique?+

Deborah was a prophetess and judge of Israel who served before becoming involved in the military campaign against Sisera.

Her authority came from her prophetic calling and her intimate relationship with God.

Why did Deborah prophesy that Sisera would be sold into the hands of a woman?+

Deborah's prophecy in Judges 4:9 was fulfilled when Jael, a woman, killed Sisera in her tent. This outcome demonstrated God's power to use unexpected means and people to accomplish His purposes, and it highlighted the role of women in God's plan of deliverance for Israel.

What is the significance of the Song of Deborah in Judges 5?+

The Song of Deborah is one of the oldest pieces of Hebrew poetry in the Bible and provides a poetic celebration of Israel's victory and God's deliverance.
