Following Joshua's leadership and his plea for continued devotion to the Lord, the Israelites initially pledged their allegiance. However, their descendants strayed from their covenant, embracing the idolatrous practices of surrounding nations. This disobedience angered the Lord, leading to their subjugation by oppressive enemies for twenty years. The Canaanite king Jabin, and his powerful and cruel army commander Sisera, were instrumental in this oppression. During this difficult time, Deborah, a prophetess and judge, served as a spiritual and judicial leader for the Israelites, settling disputes amongst her people. The narrative highlights the consequences of faithfulness and unfaithfulness to God, emphasizing themes of divine judgment, deliverance, and spiritual leadership.

And the Lord gave them victory over their enemies in the land of Canaan. Before Joshua died, he urged the people of Israel to promise to worship and serve only the Lord.  \nJoshua 24:1,11, 14-27  \nAnd all the people said,“We will serve and obey only the Lord our God.”  \nJoshua 24:24  \nThose people obeyed the Lord. But their children forgot the Lord and all he had done for Israel. They did not conquer the people in the land, as the Lord had commanded. Instead, they worshiped the gods of the people around them.  \nNumbers 33:51-53; Judges 1:19-36; 2:10-13  \nThis evil angered the Lord. So, the Lord let their enemies defeat them. He sent a Canaanite king named Jabin to conquer them. The commander of King Jabin’s army was named Sisera.  \nJudges 2:12,15; 4:2  \nSisera was very cruel and powerful, and he oppressed the Israelites for twenty years. Then the people of Israel cried out to the Lord for help.  \nJudges 4:3  \nDuring this time, a prophetess named Deborah was the leader and judge in Israel.
