It was Deborah who sent for Barak to lead the host against Sisera, and Barak said to her that if she went he would go, but if she went not he would not go, so mighty was her presence.
Cyril goes down greater than Barak the son of Abinoam, not with ten, but with thirty thousand men at his feet!
Barak el Hadgi presented Hartley with a small quantity of the balsam of Mecca, very hard to be procured in an unadulterated form, and gave him at the same time a passport in a peculiar character, which he assured him would be respected by every officer of the Nawaub, should his friend be disposed to accomplish his visit to the Mysore.
Then I will draw out to you at the brook Kishon Sisera with his chariots and his troops, and I will deliver him into your hands." Barak said to her, "If you will go with me, I will go, but if you will not go with me, I will not go."
But the spirit of a weak woman, when sustained by the living God, shall brave every danger. Faith shall triumph over fear, and the sword shall follow and fulfil prophetic inspirations. "Up," said Deborah to Barak, "for this is the day in which the Lord hath delivered Sisera into thine hand; is not the Lord gone out before thee?"
They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the LORD go down to the gates. Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.
The attorney's knees gave way instantly; he sank in a heap, then slowly rolled forward and onward down the slope. The aureus had dropped from his limp hand. 'Plain Tom' was on to it like a knife the song of Deborah and Barak on his lips. Then he paused and looked upon the motionless figure of the man below now lying half hidden amongst some bracken. What was to be done?
"Who are those little things," asked he, "who rushed away from me?" "Those are children of my servants," replied Sarah. "Of Jews?" "Of my brothers." "Gods, what a numerous people!" laughed Ramses. "And who is that again?" added he, pointing to a man who looked timidly from beyond the wall. "That is Aod, son of Barak, my relative. He wants to serve thee, lord. May I take him?"
The call of the Muezzins thundering from the minarets, had invited the faithful to prayers, when a black servant, about fifteen years old, stood before Hartley, and pronounced these words, deliberately, and twice over, "Thus says Barak el Hadgi, the watcher in the Mosque: He that would see the sun rise, let him turn towards the east."
On one occasion, shortly before Barak el Hadgi left Madras, he visited the Doctor, and partook of his sherbet, which he preferred to his own, perhaps because a few glasses of rum or brandy were usually added to enrich the compound.
