The Palm of Deborah - The Book of Judges

Bible in a Year with Jack Graham - A podcast by Pray.com

In this Bible Story, Jabin and his general Sisera oppress Israel for over 20 years. The Lord sent Deborah, a mighty and wise woman. He also sent Barak, the commander of Israel’s armies. Sisera fled, and was in the tent of a woman named Jael, and killed in his sleep with a tent peg through his skull. This story is inspired by Judges 4-5.

And so once again they are allowed to be set under the oppression of a foreign ruler, Jabin king of Canaan and Sisera’s commander. God, however, had a message for the commander of Israel’s army, Barak. He told him through the prophetess and judge, Deborah, to go out and claim victory. Though he was willing, Barak, like many of us, showed cowardice at the size of his enemy's army, and though God gave them the victory, He allowed a woman named Jael to claim the glory instead.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.
