When God appointed Deborah as judge - her people were under the oppression of Jabin, who ruled over the northern portion of Canaan, because the Israelis unsurprisingly enough did evil in the sight of the Lord.
This oppression lasted 20 years - until they cried unto the Lord.
So Deborah was tasked with what seemed an impossible feat & a suicide mission for whomever she chose to deliver her people out of the hands of Jabin.
----
Judges 4:3 And the children of Israel cried unto the Lord: for he [Jabin] had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.
Quoting: b4its2l8 Deborah must have been a well-known prophetess, for when she told Barak he was to lead the battle against Jabin - and the strategy God laid out that was a guarantee for victory, he insisted she accompany him, or he wouldn't go. He knew she was a woman of God and trusted her. ----- Judges 4:5 ... the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.6 And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedeshnaphtali, and said unto him, Hath not the Lord God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?7 And I will draw unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thine hand.8 And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go.Needless to say - God's plan was flawless - up to the very point it was a woman who killed Sisera and ended the battle. Judges 4:9 So she {Deborah} said, “I will surely go with you; nevertheless there will be no glory for you in the journey you are taking, for the Lord will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman.” Here's a short summary of how the battle played out: Deborah, the leader of the Israelites, urged ten thousand Israelites under the command of Barak to take advantage of their elevated position on Mount Tabor to defeat the forces of the Canaanite King Jabin of Hazor on the plain below. When the Canaanite chariots were bogged down due to heavy rainfall, they became sitting targets for the hordes of Israelites charging down the mountainside... The end of Sisera: From Biblestudy tools: Looking for a safe haven, Sisera comes to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite. She invites him to come in and find safety. To enable him to rest, Jael covers him with a quilt or rug and gives Sisera milk when he requests a drink of water. Assuming his hostess will redirect anyone looking for him, Sisera goes to sleep. He never wakes again due to Jael's brutally killing him. Jael's actions are debatable. On the one hand, Sisera knows the custom of never going into a woman's tent without her husband being there. Anyone who does can be killed. On the other hand, Jael's action of inviting him to come in without fear covers her intention. She doesn't hesitate to commit cold-blooded murder after having offered hospitality, which always included protection. The end of the story results in Jael's receiving the honor of having overcome the enemy leader. "Though predicted by Deborah, the act was the result of divine foreknowledge, not of divine appointment or action" (Jamieson, Fausset and Brown). When Barak finally catches up with Sisera, it's by Jael's coming out to meet him and showing him the body.
