When King Jabin of Hazor began to oppress the Israelites, Deborah called upon Barak from Kedesh-naphtali to fight against him. The Israelite forces gathered at Mount Tabor, and Sisera, the commander of Jabin’s army, marched his men to the Kishon River. The Israelites defeated Sisera’s forces and chased them all the way back to Harosheth-hagoyim, but Sisera fled on foot to the oak at Zaanannim, where a woman named Jael killed him as he rested in her tent.
