14 Then Deborah said unto Barak: up, for this is the day, wherein the Lord hath delivered Sisera into thine hand. Is not the Lord gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Thabor, and ten thousand men after him. 15 And the Lord destroyed Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host with the edge of the sword, before Barak. So that Sisera lighted down of his chariot, and fled away on his feet.
14 Thē Deborah said vnto Barac: vp, for this is the day, wherin ye Lord hath deliuered Sisera into thine hand. Is not the Lord gone out before thee? So Barac went downe from mount Thabor, and ten thousand men after hym. 15 And the Lord destroyed Sisera, and all his chariots, and al his host with ye edge of the sworde, before Barac. So that Sisera lighted downe of his chariot, and fled away on his feete.
Barak is made strong by the words of Deborah, and forced to join battle with his enemies. For that is the power of faith, to strengthen the weakness yea if the exhortation of Deborah had not been,1 Barak (if we may believe Josephus) by the sight of his enemies was so feared and troubled, that he would have gotten him to the stronger fenced places of the hill, but she called him back again, and by her words drave him to fight. Being therefore strengthened, and confirmed, he forsook the well fenced parts of mount Thabor, and came down to fight with Sisera. This is (sayeth she) the day. As though she should have said, no humane power, or warlike might can let the victory, which the predestination of God hath this day decreed unto thee. But a man will ask how it is now said that Sisera should be delivered into the hands of Barak, when as before it was foretold, that he should be sold into the hand of a woman? I answer that it is therefore because that the host should be destroyed by Barak, and Sisera should be so made to fly, that the matter was begun by the conduct of Deborah, and finished by Jael, but the flight and slaughter was accomplished by Barak. Wherefore in the history there can not justly be noted any contrariety or diversity.
