Deborah, Barak, and Jael: The LORD Routes Canaan's Chariots
Judges 4 moves from Israel's renewed evil and twenty years of Canaanite oppression, through Deborah's prophetic command and Barak's qualified obedience, to the LORD's routing of Sisera's chariots and Jael's unexpected completion of the deliverance.

1After Ehud died, the Israelites again did evil in the sight of the LORD.
2So the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor. The commander of his forces was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth-hagoyim.
3Then the Israelites cried out to the LORD, because Jabin had nine hundred chariots of iron, and he had harshly oppressed the Israelites for twenty years.
