Judges 4 · Grade 2

Deborah Under the Palm

Name Date

Read the Story

A king named Jabin was mean to Israel for twenty years. His captain, Sisera, had nine hundred iron chariots. The people cried to God.

Deborah was a prophet. She judged Israel under a palm tree. She called Barak. She said God wanted him to go to Mount Tabor with ten thousand men. Barak said he would go if she went with him. Deborah said yes. But she said a woman would get the honor.

Deborah told Barak to go, because God had gone before him. God mixed up Sisera's army. Sisera ran away on foot. He hid in the tent of a woman named Jael. Jael beat Sisera there. God won the fight for Israel that day.

Memory Verse

“Deborah said to Barak, “Go; for this is the day in which Yahweh has delivered Sisera into your hand. Hasn’t Yahweh gone out before you?” So Barak went down from Mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.”

Judges 4:14 (WEB)
