Twenty years under Jabin of Canaan and his nine hundred iron chariots. I sit under a palm tree in the hills of Ephraim, and Israel comes up to me to settle their disputes.

Prophet. Judge. Get up, it's today.
Wife of Lappidoth. I sit under a palm tree between Ramah and Bethel in the hills of Ephraim, and people come up to me to have their disputes settled. The LORD speaks through me. When he told me to send for Barak, I sent for Barak. When Barak wouldn't go without me, I went.

Sent for Barak. Told him the LORD wants him to take ten thousand men to Mount Tabor, and he'll hand Sisera, Jabin's army commander, over to him.
So I went with him. But I told him the honour won't be his. The LORD is going to hand Sisera over to a woman.
Go. Today's the day. The LORD's already out in front of you, isn't he?
Village life in Israel had stopped. Then I stood up. Me, Deborah. A mother for Israel.
Even the stars fought. From up in the sky, they fought against Sisera.
His mother at the window, peering out: why's his chariot taking so long?
