Judges 4:9
And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honour; for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
KJV
Quæ dixit ad eum : Ibo quidem tecum, sed in hac vice victoria non reputabitur tibi, quia in manu mulieris tradetur Sisara. Surrexit itaque Debbora, et perrexit cum Barac in Cedes.
Vulgate
καὶ εἶπεν Πορευομένη πορεύσομαι μετὰ σοῦ· πλὴν γίνωσκε ὅτι οὐκ ἔσται τὸ προτέρημά σου ἐπὶ τὴν ὁδὸν ἣν σὺ πορεύῃ, ὅτι ἐν χειρὶ γυναικὸς ἀποδώσεται Κύριος τὸν Σεισαρά. καὶ ἀνέστη Δεββωρὰ καὶ ἐπορεύθη μετὰ Βαράκ ἐκ Κάδης.
LXX
And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding, the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honor; for Jehovah will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.

The Spirit of God doth manifestly speak in the Old Testament, pronouncing a malediction and curse upon that people where a woman reigneth. And the prophets, by the mouth of Deborah herself, declare that it was shame and confusion for Israel to be governed by a woman, which shame Barak sustained when Deborah went with him to battle.
