5 And the same Deborah dwelt under a Palm tree, between Ramath and Bethel, in mount Ephraim. And the children of Israel ascended up to her for judgement.
5 And the same Deborah dwelt vnder a Palme tree, betwene Ramath and Bethell, in mount Ephraim. And the children of Israell ascended vp to her for iudgement.
1The word of judging (as we have admonished) in this book oftentimes signifieth to revenge, and to set at liberty. Which signification if we now follow, we shall see that Deborah was appointed unto the same, namely to deliver the Israelites. And as soon as they by the inspiration of God understood that, they ascended to her, to hear of her what they should do, to attain unto liberty. But if any man will have the word of judgement to signify to set laws, or to give sentence of controversies. I will not be much against it. For so great peradventure was the oppression of Jabin, that now the Israelites could not use ordinary judges. They therefore being taken away, when they saw that Deborah was endowed with the spirit of God, they had rather be judged by her, than by the Canaanites.2 But Josephus inclineth more unto the first interpretation, and he saith that they being oppressed by their enemies came unto Deborah, whom they knew to be a most holy woman and endowed with the sprite of god, and desired her to pray unto God for them, which she both did and was heard.
