Deborah summons Barak against Sisera
Deborah, a prophetess judging Israel, summoned Barak to gather ten thousand men at Mount Tabor against Sisera's nine hundred iron chariots. Barak agreed to go if Deborah accompanied him (Judges 4:1-10), in the judgeship placed at 1285 BC by the Ussher record.

📖 Judges 4:1–3
1After Ehud died, the Israelites again did evil in the sight of the LORD. 2So the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor. The commander of his forces was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth-hagoyim. 3Then the Israelites cried out to the LORD, because Jabin had nine hundred chariots of iron, and he had harshly oppressed the Israelites for twenty years.
