Deborah Leads the Way
Judges 4
The Israelites lived in the
promised land for many years.
But they forgot about God.
A bad king from another land
ruled over them.
The Israelites asked God for help.
God sent them a judge named Deborah.
She loved God very much.
God gave her a plan to defeat the bad
king. She sent for a man named Barak
and told him, “God wants you to take
10,000 soldiers and wait on the hill.”
The Israelites were not as
strong as their enemies.
Barak begged Deborah to go with them.
She was a strong leader. She agreed.
When the Israelites met face to face
with the king’s army, Deborah exclaimed,
“Go! Attack them now! God is with us!”
The Israelites obeyed and won the battle.
