Judges 4:10

"She said, “I will surely go with you. Nevertheless, the journey that you take won’t be for your honor; for the LORD will sell Sisera into a woman’s hand.” Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh."

Key Reflection

Deborah's words foreshadow the unexpected reversal of fortune where Sisera, the enemy general, is defeated by Jael, a woman, rather than through military prowess. This highlights the theme that God’s plans often defy human expectations and honor, demonstrating His sovereign power in bringing about victory.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Rather, “and ten thousand men went up (to Tabor) at his feet;” i. e. as his followers (“after him,”Judges 4:14).
