“Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:”
The prayer for divine action begins with historical precedent: "Do to them as you did to Midian, as to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River." The supplicant invokes God's past deliverance against coalitions of enemies: Gideon's victory over Midian and Deborah's victory over Jabin (recounted in Judges). These precedents demonstrate that God has power to defeat overwhelming hostile coalitions.
