Just as the river Jordan represents transition and manifestation of God's divine power on behalf of his people, the ancient river Kishon correlates to divine judgment upon the enemies of righteousness. In this scene, Deborah overlooks Kishon, where God has directed the battle. After Sisera's army was decimated on the battlefield, the river itself rose up on God's command, and swept their dead bodies away. Centuries later, Kishon would again receive corpses—those of the prophets of Baal slaughtered by the prophet Elijah.
