According to the Book of Judges (chapters 4 and 5) of the Hebrew Bible, the Battle of Mount Tabor was a military confrontation between the forces of King Jabin of Canaan, who ruled from Hazor, and the Israelite army led by Barak and Deborah.

[1][2] The Israelites had been oppressed for twenty years by the Canaanite king Jabin and by the captain of his army, Sisera, who commanded a force of nine hundred iron chariots.

The prophetess agreed to come, but scolded Barak, telling him "I will surely go with you; nevertheless, the road on which you are going will not lead to your glory, for the Lord will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman.

[4] Rain filled the streams on the mountain causing a flash flood at the Wadi Kishon, sweeping many away(Judges 5:21) The Canaanites panicked and fled, and the Israelites pursued them and slew them to the last man.

Jael hid Sisera and gave him some milk to drink, but killed him after he fell asleep by pounding a tent peg through his temple.
