Deborah is the name of two women in the Bible, and her name means bee.
- Deborah was Rebekah's nurse, who journeyed with Rebekah when she left home to become Isaac's wife. She died in Bethel, and they buried her under an oak tree called the oak of weeping.
- Deborah was from the tribe of Ephraim. She was a prophetess, and she married a man named Lapidoth. Deborah was one of the judges in Israel, and she was the only female judge. Deborah performed her duties as a judge while sitting under a palm tree. Deborah informed General Barak to lead a force against Jabin's General Sisera, who terrorized Israel for many years. Barak accepted the challenge, but he insisted that Deborah accompany him on the mission. The mission was a success. Sisera is the only person that survived the initial attack, but a woman later killed him by driving a peg through his temple. Judges chapter 5 is often called the song of Deborah.
