Judges 4:11 in context
9And 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.
10And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and he went up with ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with him.
11Now Heber the Kenite, which was of the children of Hobab the father in law of Moses, had severed himself from the Kenites, and pitched his tent unto the plain of Zaanaim, which is by Kedesh.
12And they shewed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to mount Tabor.
13And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles unto the river of Kishon.

Here, I. Barak beats up for volunteers, and soon has his quota of men ready, Jdg 4:10. Deborah had appointed him to raise an army of 10,000 men (Jdg 4:6), and so many he has presently at his feet, following him, and subject to his command. God is said to call us to his feet (Isa 41:2), that is, into obedience to him.
