Devorah HaNeviah was a woman prophet during the age of the Shoftim. Together with her husband Barak ben Avinoam, she rescued the Jewish Nation from their Canaanite oppressors and led them for 40 years. Devorah HaNevia used to sit under a palm tree when speaking to the people who came to her for advice, to avoid being put into situations of Yichud. She is well known for the song of praise she sang to Hashem after the war, which is referred to as Shirat Devorah.

Barak ben Avinoam

Devorah HaNevia was married to Barak ben Avinoam was also known as Lapidos due to his custom of preparing and providing lanterns for places of Torah study to enable studying at night. He spent years serving and assisting the Elders that came after Yehoshua. These great merits brought them together despite Devorah having attained much higher spiritual levels then her husband.
