What is more, the hero of the song is neither Deborah nor Barak, but Yael the Kenite, who killed Sisera, just as Deborah predicted in chapter four:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But Barak said to her, \u201cIf you will go with me, I will go; if not, I will not go.\u201d \u201cVery well, I will go with you,\u201d she answered. \u201cHowever, there will be no glory for you in the course you are taking, for then the LORD will deliver Sisera into the hands of a woman.\u201d So Deborah went with Barak to Kedesh. (Judges 8-9).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This displacement of a male hero from the glory which, in a patriarchal society, would normally be his, is notable, and sets the tone for Judges \u2013 a book considered by some scholars to have an almost \u201cfeminist\u201d strain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The transfer of power between genders is depicted in a memorable image by the Dutch Catholic painter Salomon de Bray, in his 1635 painting <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jael, Deborah and Barak<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. On the right we see Barak in full battle gear, gazing directly at the viewer, with concern and perhaps disappointment lining his face. In the center of the frame is the wizened prophetess, Deborah, looking and praying towards God. The largest and brightest figure is, fittingly, Yael, who grasps her tools of destruction, and holds an intense but difficult-to-decode expression. One can detect in Yael\u2019s visage determination, pride, or the sweetness of revenge in her face. Perhaps most of all, there is a look of wonder at her newfound power.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image: Salomon de Bray: <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jael,
