The Definition of the word Barachel

Barachel

Lightning, the son of Abinoam (Judg. 4:6). At the summons of Deborah he made war against Jabin. She accompanied him into the "battle, and gave the signal for the little army to make the" attack; in which the host of Jabin was completely routed. The battle was fought (Judg. 4:16) in the plain of Jezreel (q.v.). This deliverance of Israel is commemorated in Judg. 5. Barak's "faith is commended (Heb. 11:32). "The character of Barak, though" "pious, does not seem to have been heroic. Like Gideon, and in a" "sense Samson, he is an illustration of the words in Heb. 11:34," "'Out of weakness were made strong.'" (See [47]DEBORAH.)"
