“And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this is the day in which the Lord hath delivered Sisera into thine hand: is not the Lord gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.”
Then Deborah said to Barak, 'Up! For this is the day on which the LORD has given Sisera into your hand. The LORD is going out before you.' So Barak went down from Mount Tabor with ten thousand warriors at his heels. — Deborah's exhortation ('Up! For this is the day on which the LORD has given Sisera into your hand') affirms the promise of verses 6-7. The assurance 'The LORD is going out before you' invokes the conquest language of Joshua, indicating that God directly participates in the battle. Barak's descent 'with ten thousand warriors at his heels' indicates his trust in Deborah's prophecy prompts action.
