Judges 5:24 - Forerunner Commentary

Judges 5:24

22 Then the horses’ hooves pounded,
The galloping, galloping of his steeds.

23 ‘Curse Meroz,’ said the angel of the Lord,
‘Curse its inhabitants bitterly,
Because they did not come to the help of the Lord,
To the help of the Lord against the mighty.’

24 “Most blessed among women is Jael,
The wife of Heber the Kenite;
^aBlessed is she among women in tents.

25 He asked for water, she gave milk;
She brought out cream in a lordly bowl.

26 She stretched her hand to the tent peg,
Her right hand to the workmen’s hammer;
She pounded Sisera, she pierced his head,
She split and struck through his temple.

27 At her feet he sank, he fell, he lay still;
At her feet he sank, he fell;
Where he sank, there he fell ^adead.

28 “The mother of Sisera looked through the window,
And cried out through the lattice,
‘Why is his chariot so long in coming?
Why tarries the clatter of his chariots?’

29 Her wisest¹ ladies answered her,
Yes, she¹ answered herself,
