Context of Judges 4:10

8Barak said to her, “If you will go with me, I will go. But if you will not go with me, I will not go.” 9“I will gladly go with you,” she said, “but you will receive no honor on the road you are about to take, because the Lord will sell Sisera to a woman.” So Deborah got up and went with Barak to Kedesh. Barak summoned Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; ten thousand men followed him, and Deborah also went with him. 11Now Heber the Kenite had moved away from the Kenites, the sons of Hobab, Moses’s father-in-law, and pitched his tent beside the oak tree of Zaanannim, which was near Kedesh. 12It was reported to Sisera that Barak son of Abinoam had gone up Mount Tabor.
