New Deborah. The first four verses, of the chapter are the intro- 4 duction provided by the editor of the book. They tell us of the evil-doing of Israel and the oppression of Jabin, | king of Hazor, and his captain, Sisera, ose home was in the northern part of Palestine (see Josh. 11: 1-15), and [ over whose kirg and people at an over whom he had already some in- fluence and authority. The chosen battleground is the banks of the river Kishon, always treacherous in times of flood but well known to the men of Israel... Deborah's instructions to Barak are given as the word of Jehovah. 8-9. If Thou Wilt Go With Me. Barak did not' lack courage, but he saw with a soldier's understanding the magnitude and peril of the enter- prise... If this woman of vision and of faith, through whose lips Jehovah spoke to him, would but go with him, then he felt assured of Jehovah's blessing and so of success. Deborah's answer was prompt and epirited, "1 will surely go." But, she said, the honor of the enterprise will go to a woman. 10-11. At His Feet, that is, "after him." With his little army of ten thousand men, ill-equipped but stimu- lated to enthusiasm and daring by the presence of the heroic woman who med victory, Barak marched to al 12-18.

This Is the Day Is Not' the Lord Gone Out Before Thee? De-! borah's faith was simple, direct and] very great. She was ded to believe the and; day, and like Moses and Joshua, sha believed that Jehovah went before the armies of His people into the battle. For among the earliest ideas of the people of Israel about Jehovah was this that He was a God of war, fight- ing His people's enemies. "The Lord is a man of war,' they said. He is} "Captain of the Lord's host;" He is! "the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of - Israel," "the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in bat- tle," So even in Christian literature, in the imagery of the Apocalypse, Christ is "portrayed as a warrior rid ing on a white horse to the final cons flict with Anti-Christ" (Rev. 19: 11+ 16). The Lord Discomfited Sisera. The battle was fought, no doubt with courage and skill, but it was the in visible leader who gave the victory.| There was a storm, a heavy fall of rain, a swiftly rising flood, and the/ enemy was caught upon soft and treacherous. ground, amid marshes and quicksands. It seemed that heaven and earth had conspired to overthrow and destroy the enemy. If was surely the Lord's doing. The lesson story goes on to tell of the flight of Sisera, and of his murder, in the tent of Heber, the Kenite, by Jael, the wife of Heber, a marden which seems shocking to us but wa regarded as justifiable .and or worthy in the minds of the people of that primitive age (see 5: 24-27).
