Was there a battle ? Or what happened ? How did God work to deliver the enemy

Was there a battle ? Or what happened ? How did God work to deliver the enemy

This was the Battle of Mount Tabor between the Canaanite forces of the king of Hazor and the Israelite army led by Barak and Deborah in the mid 12th century BC. The army under the command of Sisera outnumbered greatly that of Israel's army. God delivered the enemy into the hands of the Israelites by causing it to rain so hard it soaked the ground slowing the Canaanites chariots as they tried to ride through the mud. Barak's army attacked from Mount Tabor and the Canaanites started losing their strength as Barak's army kept pursuing them until all the Canaanites were killed.
