Jael - Her Legacy In Scripture

Jael - Her Legacy In Scripture

Read Judges 4:11 – 22; 5:4 – 5, 24 – 27.

1. What was God’s role in these events?

2. Use three adjectives to describe Jael before she kills Sisera. Pretend you don’t know what she’s going to do and describe her just from 4:17 – 20.

3. Why do you think Jael did what she did? Do you see her as brave, fearful, desperate, treacherous? How much do you think her life experience in a brutal culture had to do with it?

4. Why do you think Deborah praised Jael for such a savage deed?

5. What do you think God wants us to take away from the story of Deborah, Barak, and Jael and all of the death woven within it?
