Dict: easton - Barak

easton:

Barak @ lightning, the son of Abinoam kjv@Judges: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 kjv@Judges:4:16) in the plain of Jezreel (q.v.). This deliverance of Israel is commemorated in kjv@Judges:5. Barak's faith is commended kjv@Hebrews: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 kjv@Hebrews:11:34, 'Out of weakness were made strong.'" (
See DEBORAH.)
