Explained for Children
Imagine you're playing a game where a big bully is chasing you. God tells your friend, 'I will make the bully come to you, and I will help you win.' That's what God did for Deborah with Sisera. He made sure the bad guy came to her and helped her win.
Historical Background
The Book of Judges was written around the 10th century BCE by various authors, likely under divine inspiration. It was written for the Israelites to show how God worked through judges to deliver them from their enemies and to remind them of their covenant with God.
Living It Out Today
