Judges 4:6

Read in context

Judges 4:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

4 Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel at that time.

5 And she would sit under the Palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim, where the Israelites would go up to her for judgment.

6 She summoned Barak son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali and said to him, “Surely the LORD, the God of Israel, is commanding you: ‘Go and march to Mount Tabor, taking with you ten thousand men of Naphtali and Zebulun.

7 And I will draw out Sisera the commander of Jabin’s army, his chariots, and his troops to the River Kishon, and I will deliver him into your hand.’”

8 Barak said to her, “If you will go with me, I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go.”
