Deborah useth the authority of a prince, when she citeth Barak unto her and commanded him to be called in her own name. he came from the City of Cedes. That was a City of the Priests in the tribe of Nepthalim, and also a City of refuge as it is read in Joshua the 19. chap. Hath not the Lord God commanded thee. She useth an interrogative speech: for that very much profiteth to stir up minds, and earnestly to commanded any thing. Some think that Deborah had more than once yea often times admonished Barak in the name of god to accomplish this office and he for fear lingered it. Wherefore she at the last openly and before the Israelites reproveth them. And it is as much, as if she should have said, In very deed it is God which hath commanded thee these things. That which I speak is not mine invention, I tell thee this thou must take in hand by the counsel and will of God.1 And in these words of the Prophetess may be observed a manner much used in the holy Scriptures, which when they give any precept, do straight way join thereunto a promise. When children are commanded to obey their parents, length of life is straight way promised. Deborah also declareth, that she exercised the office of a Prophet among the people, when as she Prophecieth what shall become of Sisera, and foretelleth a notable victory, which God had decreed unto Barak. Mount Thabor, 2which is here mentioned, of the Ethnic writers is called Ithabirius: It is nigh unto the Assyrians; Nepthalites and Sabulonites. There the Lord Jesus Christ, our Saviour, was transfigured before three of his Disciples, as it is declared in the history of the Gospel. This mount hath by it the river Kyson, 3which by the destruction of the Baalites is made notable: for there Elijah the Prophet slew the Priests of Baal.
Deborah vseth the authoritie of a prince, when she citeth Barac vnto her and commaunded him to be called in her owne name. he came from the Citie of Cedes. That was a Citie of the Priestes in the tribe of Nepthalim, and also a Citie of refuge as it is read in Iosuah the 19. chap. Hath not the Lorde God commaunded thee. She vseth an interrogatiue speache: for that very muche profiteth to stirre vp mindes, and earnestly to commaunded any thyng. Some thinke that Deborah had more than once yea often tymes admonished Barac in the name of god to accomplishe this office and he for feare lingered it. Wherefore she at the last openly and before the Israelites reproueth them. And it is as muche, as if she should haue sayde, In very dede it is God whiche hath commaunded thee these thynges. That whiche I speake is not myne inuention, I tell thee this thou must take in hande by the counsell and will of God.
