Deborah

Deborah, a prophetess of the God of the Israelites, was a fiery woman who led the Israelites to victory against the Canaanites. She told Barak, an Israelite general, that God commanded him to lead an attack against the forces of Jabin king of Canaan and his military commander Sisera. Barak was hesitant, but Deborah assured him that God would be with him. The Israelites gathered at Mount Tabor, and Deborah led them into battle. The Canaanites were defeated, and Sisera was killed by Jael, a woman who lured him into her tent and then drove a tent peg through his head. Deborah's victory was a turning point in the history of Israel. It showed that the Israelites could defeat their enemies with God's help, and it inspired them to continue fighting for their independence.
