Conclusion of Two Brave Women

Ba'rak tells Deb'0-rah:  'I will go if you will go with me.' Deb'o-rah goes along, but she says to Ba'rak: 'You won't get credit for the victory, because Jehovah will give Sis'e-ra into the hand of a woman.' And this is what happens. 

Ba'rak goes down from Mount Ta'bor to meet Sis'e-ra soldiers. Suddenly Jehovah causes a flood, and many of the enemy soldiers are drowned. But Sis'e-ra gets off his chariot and runs away.

After awhile Sis'e-ra comes to meet the ten of Ja'el.   She invites him in, and gives him some milk.  This makes him sleepy, and soon he is fast asleep.  Then Ja'el takes ten pin and drives it into the man's head. Later, when Ba'rak comes, she shows him the dead Sis'e-ra!  So you can see what Deb'o-rah said came true.

Judges 2:14-22; 4:1-24; 5:1-31.
