We delve into the era of the judges, focusing on the extraordinary story of Deborah and Jael. As Israel faces severe oppression under Jabin, king of Canaan, and his commander Sisera, God raises up Deborah, a prophetess and judge, who calls Barak to lead an army against their enemies. Despite Barak's initial fear, he follows Deborah's guidance to victory. However, the ultimate glory goes to Jael, a non-Israelite woman, who kills Sisera, fulfilling a prophecy of Deborah.
