Judges 04 General Notes
Structure and formatting
Chapters 4 and 5 form one section about Barak and Deborah.
Special concepts in this chapter
Barak's leadership
At this time, it was very unusual for a woman to be a leader, especially a military leader. Barak lacked the strength to go into battle without Deborah. This indicates that Barak was a poor leader. If a woman won the battle for him, it would have brought Barak shame. It also indicates that Deborah was very well respected. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit)
