At nagpasugo siya at ipinatawag si Barak na anak ni Abinoam mula sa Kedes ng Neftali, at sinabi niya sa kanya: “Hindi ba nag-utos ang Walang-Hanggan, ang Diyos ng Israel: Humayo ka at hikayatin mo ang bayan na sumama sa iyo sa bundok ng Tabor, at magsama ka ng sampung libong lalaki mula sa mga anak ni Neftali at mula sa mga anak ni Zabulon?”

“Deborah, the wife of Lapidoth was a prophetess, and she judged Israel at that time” [4:4]. A woman whose name was Deborah was a prophetess. Her husband’s name was Lapidoth. He was the same as Barak, son of Avinoam.1Judges 4:6. The meaning of Lapidoth is fire and torch. Barak means lightning and fire. Our sages say that Deborah made wicks for the lights in the Temple and that is why she was called Lapidoth.2Yalkut Shimoni, Judges, Remez 42. According to this midrash, her wicks were distinguished by being extra thick, which made them burn longer and brighter. This means, fire and torch. That is to say, she caused the light to burn in the Temple. From this we learn that it is a mitzvah to contribute to the lighting of the synagogue or to make wicks for the synagogue. Every synagogue is compared to the Temple and Deborah was a Judge and sat over all of Israel to judge, like a Judge of Israel.

And Naphtali, etc. That is to say, and likewise Naphtali also did not worry about dying upon the open heights of the war's location. (Granted, God commanded taking the Children of Zevulun and the Children of Naphtali to war, as it is written above (Judges 4:6); and He did not command bringing [men] from the other tribes to the war. Nevertheless, Devorah was angry with Reuven and with Dan about their not coming on their own, the way the other tribes had come.)
Rashi
הנותן אמרי שפר Understand this as the Targum does: They (the people of Naphtali) will give thanks to and will praise God for them (for the fruits). Another explanation of the verse is: He prophesied about the war with Sisera, with regard to which Scripture says, (Judges 4:6) “and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali etc.” — and they marched thither most rapidly. There, too, is the expression שלח used: (v.15) “into the valley they rushed (שלח) at his feet”.
