Warrior Women

[Rollo Tamasi]

Who knows any warrior women in the Bible?
Women should know this because all women at some time or other go to a women's bible study and learn about women in the Bible.
Men never learn that stuff.
I know that Deborah was a judge so she must be a warrior woman.
She leads all Israel into battle.
That's one tough woman.
I think of our Deborah this way.
I envision her to be at least 6 feet tall, muscular, and ready to punch me out if she ever sees me.
That's why I avoid her a lot.
Jezebel was a warrior.
I wouldn't mess with her either.
Are there any other warrior women in the Bible?
What's their story that we should learn?
Anyone know?

How about Abigail?
Who can tell us?

 

[Rollo Tamasi]

Wimpy Ruth?
Yeah, she was good for obeying Boaz, I like her.

Zena

Zena?
Isn't that a character in some space comic book?

 

[Rollo Tamasi]

Zena?
Isn't that a character in some space comic book?

Oh yes, now I remember.
Zena marries Jason the offender and they go off to Galaxy X forever.
I think that's in the apochrypha just after Bel and the Dragon.

Zena is a warrior woman clad in black and brandishing a sword.
Ready to avenge injustice...

[Rollo Tamasi]

Is that why you.tap out and submit often?

Careful, I'll get Dorcas after you.

 

[Jethro Bodine]

Okay, tell us.
Who is Dorcas?

36Now in Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which translated in Greek is called Dorcas); this woman was abounding with deeds of kindness and charity which she continually did. 37And it happened at that time that she fell sick and died; and when they had washed her body, they laid it in an upper room.38Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him, “Do not delay in coming to us.” 39So Peter arose and went with them. When he arrived, they brought him into the upper room; and all the widows stood beside him, weeping and showing all the tunics and garments that Dorcas used to make while she was with them. 40But Peter sent them all out and knelt down and prayed, and turning to the body, he said, “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up. 41And he gave her his hand and raised her up; and calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive." (Acts 9:36-41 NASB)

Warfare doesn't always have to manifest itself in brutality. A godly life is evidence of successful spiritual warfare.

How about Abigail?

A woman who became one of David's wives after her old man dropped dead stroking out about something.
Of course he had to do the right thing and take her into his care when he died. I think the story says something about her being hot(?)

A true warrior.
