Though God hath every way provided well for us to be instructed soundly, and graciously relieved and comforted, (as I have said) yet it is to be lamented, that many of us are glutted with the good means that we have, and suffer them to lie by us, as it were a rusting. And even thereafter is the good fruit that we bring forth in our lives thereby.

Vers. 6. Then she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh of Naphtali, and said unto him, Hath not the Lord God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward Mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali, and of the children of Zebulon? Vers. 7. And I will draw unto thee, to the river Kishon, Sisera the Captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude, and will deliver them into thine hand. Vers. 8. And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, I will go, but if thou wilt not go with me, I will not go. Vers. 9. Then she answered, I will surely go with thee, but this journey that thou takest, shall not be for thine honour: for the Lord shall sell Sisera into the hands of a woman. And Debora arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
