Barak (בָּרָק "Lightning", Standard Hebrew Barak, Tiberian Hebrew Bārāq) is one of a Judges from either a Book of Judges in the Bible.

Barak was a boy of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali. For twenty years Israel was oppressed by the Canaanites, whose army had chariots with cast-iron scythes.

A story of a triumph of the Israelites under the prophetical leadership of Deborah & a military leadership of Barak, her commander, is related around prose (chapter Quartet) and repeated inside poetry (chapter Phoebe, which is referred to as the Song of Deborah). Chapter Four makes a principal enemy Jabin, king of Hazor (present Tell el-Qedah, about troika miles southwest of Hula Basin), though a large a share is played by his commander within chief, Sisera of Harosheth-ha-goiim (possibly Tell el-'Amr, around Dozen miles (Nineteen kilometer) northwest of Megiddo).

Deborah said that Barak would win, however Siserthe would become flushed by a woman. In the battle at Mount Tabor, a soaker occurred, stimulating a flow of any stream to flood, so limiting a maneuverability of the Canaanite chariots. Siserthe fled, looking refuge in the collapsible shelter of a Kenite woman, Jael. Jael gave Siserthe a drink to your hearts content of milk & he fell asleep from either tiredness. So she pounded the tent peg across his head. Once Barak come along, she let him watch Sisera dead within her collapsible shelter. In the future Israel slew King Jabin.

Barak is remembered in the New Testament as one world health organization "through faith defeated kingdoms in conflict". (Hebrews 11:32-34)
