6 She summoned Barak son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali and said to him, “Hasn’t the Lord, the God of Israel,h commanded you, ‘Go, deploy the troops on Mount Tabor,i and take with you ten thousand men from the Naphtalitesj and Zebulunites?k 7 Then I will lure Sisera commander of Jabin’s army, his chariots, and his infantry at the Wadi Kishonl to fight against you, and I will hand him over to you.’ ”m

8 Barak said to her, “If you will go with me, I will go. But if you will not go with me, I will not go.”

9 “I will gladly go with you,” she said, “but you will receive no honor on the road you are about to take, because the Lord will sell Sisera to a woman.” So Deborah got up and went with Barak to Kedesh.
