Deborah Helps Barak

After Joshua died, the Israelites did not love God. They disobeyed his commands and got themselves in trouble. When they cried out to the Lord, he rescued them. In Judges chapter 4, Deborah is a prophet in Israel. She tells Barak that God will free them from the oppression of Sisera, the commander of the Canaanite army. He said he will gather 10,000 men to fight, but he wants Deborah to go with him. She agrees to help, but tells him that a woman will kill Sisera, not him! How could a woman kill this great commander?
