Sisera (Battle-array) the general in command of the mighty army of the Canaanitish King Jabin. As this is the only instance in those early times of armies being commanded by other than kings in person, the circumstance, taken in connection with others, intimates that Sisera was a general eminent for his abilities and success. He was, however, defeated by Barak, and slain (), under the circumstances which have been described in the article Jael.
