Deborah gives commands to Barak and the troops as a prophet/leader — egalitarians argue she is 'the leader of leaders.'

Deborah sends and summons Barak, relaying God's command: 'Has not the Lord, the God of Israel, commanded you? Go, gather your men at Mount Tabor, taking 10,000 from Naphtali and Zebulun. I will draw out Sisera with his chariots and troops to meet you by the river Kishon, and I will give him into your hand.' Egalitarians argue that if she's telling leaders what to do, she is the leader of leaders.
