Session 11:
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Judges 4 introduces us to the one and only female judge in the book of Judges. Deborah was known for sitting under a palm tree so the Israelites could see her for help settling disputes. One day Deborah summoned Barak. The Lord had told Barak to go to fight the troops of Israel’s current oppressor, King Jabin of Canaan. But for some reason, Barak had yet to go. After talking with Deborah, Deborah and Barak set out for Mount Tabor to fight Jabin’s army. Read how God helped Israel in Judges 4:14-16.
