Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Judges 4:6

_ _ she sent and called Barak — by virtue of her official authority as judge.

_ _ Kedesh-naphtali — situated on an eminence, little north of the Sea of Galilee, and so called to distinguish it from another Kedesh in Issachar.

_ _ Hath not the Lord God of Israel commanded? — a Hebrew form of making an emphatic communication.

_ _ Go and draw toward mount Tabor — an isolated mountain of Galilee, northeast corner of the plain of Esdraelon. It was a convenient place of rendezvous, and the enlistment is not to be considered as limited to ten thousand, though a smaller force would have been inadequate.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Judges 4:4-9.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Judges 4:6

Called Barak — By virtue of that power which God had given her, and the people owned in her. Kedesh Naphtali — So called, to distinguish it from other places of that name, one in Judah, and another in Issachar. Hath not the Lord, &c. — That is, assuredly God hath commanded thee; this is not the fancy of a weak woman, which peradventure thou mayst despise; but the command of the great God by my mouth. Mount Tabor — A place most fit for his purpose, as being in the borders of divers tribes, and having a large plain at the top of it, where he might conveniently marshal and discipline his army. Naphtali and Zebulun — These she names because they were nearest and best known to Barak, and therefore soonest brought together, because they were nearest to the enemy, and therefore might speedily be assembled, whilst the other tribes, being at a distance, had better opportunity of gathering forces for their succour; and because these had most smarted under this oppressor, who was in the heart of their country; but these are not named exclusively, as appears by the concurrence of some other tribes.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Judges 4:6

And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedeshnaphtali, and said unto him, Hath not the LORD God of Israel (d) commanded, [saying], Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?

(d) And revealed to me by the spirit of prophecy.
