Shoftim Perek 4

• The Jewish people abandoned Hashem and were oppressed by Yavin, king of Chatzor.

• Devorah, the judge, called upon her husband Barak to save the Jewish people from General Sisra.

• Barak accepted the challenge on the condition that Devorah would go to war with him.

• Devorah agreed, but told Barak that it would be dishonorable for a female to win the war for him.

• Barak gathered 10,000 men from the tribes of Zevulun and Naftali.

• Barak destroyed Sisra’s army, as well as nine hundred iron chariots.

• Sisra fled on foot and took refuge in the tent of Yael.

• Yael fed the famished and exhausted Sisra.

• Yael then killed Sisra by driving a tent peg through his head while he was sleeping.

• Barak came to Yael and saw Sisra dead.

• The war was won.
