¹⁰ And Barak called ^(A)Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; he went up with ten thousand men ^(B)under^[a] his command, and Deborah went up with him.

⁶ Then she sent and called for ^(A)Barak the son of Abinoam from ^(B)Kedesh in Naphtali, and said to him, “Has not the Lord God of Israel commanded, ‘Go and ^[a]deploy troops at Mount ^(C)Tabor; take with you ten thousand men of the sons of Naphtali and of the sons of Zebulun;

¹¹ And ^(A)they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, ^(B)and they did not love their lives to the death.

The Outworking of Love

^16 (A)By this we know love, ^(B)because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

^24 [a]But ^(A)none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, ^(B)so that I may finish my ^[b]race with joy, ^(C)and the ministry ^(D)which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

¹⁶ “Go, gather all the Jews who are present in ^[a]Shushan, and fast for me; neither eat nor drink for ^(A)three days, night or day. My maids and I will fast likewise. And so I will go to the king, which is against the law; ^(B)and if I perish, I perish!”

¹⁴ Then Deborah said to Barak, ^[a]“Up! For this is the day in which the Lord has delivered Sisera into your hand. ^(A)Has not the Lord gone out before you?” So Barak went down from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men following him.
