Dictionary Summary:Lightning, the son of Abinoam ([Judg. 4:6](/judg#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](/judg#Judg.4.16)) in the plain of Jezreel (q.v.). This deliverance of Israel is commemorated in [Judg. 5](/judg#Judg.5). Barak’s faith is commended ([Heb. 11:32](/heb#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](/heb#Heb.11.34), ’Out of weakness were made strong.’” (See DEBORAH.) 2
