Question

A military commander who is discussed in this book of the Bible legendarily was so massive that his chariot took 900 horses to move and could feed a multitude with the fish caught in his beard after swimming. The cries of that man's mother (10[1])in this biblical book are remembered with the 100 blasts of the shofar on Rosh Hashanah. The king of Hazor named Jabin dispatches an army for a 20-year war in this book, which ends after a battle at Mount Tabor. The wife of Heber (10[1])the Kenite (10[1])uses a mallet and a tent peg in this book's episode of Jael killing Sisera, which takes place after a great victory for Barak. (10[1])This book contains what is often called the oldest passage in the Bible in its Song of Deborah. For 10 points, name this Old Testament book that discusses Samson and other pre-king leaders (10[2])of Israel. ■END■ (10[2])
