Sisera's Mother
Sisera's mother was a woman with a lot to worry about. Her son, Sisera, was a mighty warrior who led the army of Canaan against the Israelites. But Deborah, a prophetess and judge of Israel, had raised an army of her own, and she and her general Barak were determined to defeat Sisera and his men.
The two armies met in battle at Mount Tabor, and the Israelites were victorious. Sisera fled the battlefield on his chariot, but he was pursued by Jael, a woman who lived in the area. Jael invited Sisera into her tent and offered him food and water. While he was resting, Jael drove a tent peg through his skull, killing him.
Sisera's mother must have been heartbroken when she heard the news of her son's death. But she also knew that he had been a great warrior, and that he had died fighting for what he believed in. She could take comfort in the fact that he had gone to his grave with honor.
