Judges 4:4-6
International Standard Version
4 Deborah, a woman, prophet, and wife of Lappidoth, was herself judging Israel during that time. 5 She regularly took her seat[a] under the Palm Tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the mountainous region[b] of Ephraim, where the Israelis would approach her for decisions. 6 She sent word to Abinoam’s son Barak from Kedesh-naphtali, summoning him. She asked him, “The Lord God of Israel has commanded you, hasn’t he? He told you,[c] ‘Go out, march to Mount Tabor, and take 10,000 men with you from the tribes[d] of Naphtali and Zebulun.
