enough of themselves to grow wise by their misfortunes. God was willing
also hereby the more to subdue their obstinacy and ingratitude towards
himself: so when at length they were become penitent, and were so wise
as to learn that their calamities arose from their contempt of the laws,
they besought Deborah, a certain prophetess among them, (which name in
the Hebrew tongue signifies a Bee,) to pray to God to take pity
on them, and not to overlook them, now they were ruined by the Canaanites.
So God granted them deliverance, and chose them a general, Barak, one that
was of the tribe of Naphtali. Now Barak, in the Hebrew tongue, signifies
Lightning.
