JUDGES—NOTE ON Judges 4:4 Deborah is called a prophetess, one of five such women in the OT (compare Miriam [Exodus 15:20]; Huldah [2 Kings 22:14]; Isaiah’s wife [Isaiah 8:3]; and Noadiah [a false prophetess; Nehemiah 6:14]). Deborah functioned as a civil leader (Judges 4:6; Judges 5:7) and as a judge of legal cases (Judges 4:4).
