ABSTRACT
This chapter analyses the song of Deborah, who was a prophet of the God of the Israelites. The song witnessed that how strong was the impression made on the people by Deborah. She saw the Lord go out of Seir, marching out of the field of Edom, the earth trembling, the heavens dropping, the clouds dropping water, the mountains melting, even Sinai itself, before the Lord God of Israel. In the midst of her song, Deborah becomes the mouthpiece of the angel of the Lord. Deborah speaks of Benjamin and Machir, while Zebulun was only useful in handling the pen of the writer, no doubt by way of encouraging others to take the field against Canaan. The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.
