士師記 4:11 RCUVTS

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Judges 4:1-24

Deborah and Her Song Judges 4:0 , Judges 5:0 THE fourth and fifth chapters bring into view quite a host of secondary characters, such as Jabin and his chief captain, Sisera; Deborah and Barak; Heber, and Jael his wife; and in the great song of triumph and judgment names come and go with flashes of colour full of history and criticism. Sometimes we are told of a song that the words are nothing the tune is everything. That may be a happy circumstance as regards some songs, but that criticism... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Judges 4:11

Valley. Hebrew elon, may denote also, (Septuagint) "a wood of oaks," (Calmet) or a plain. (Haydock) --- Haber probably left the first settlement of the Cinites near Engaddi, when his brethren went (Calmet) into the southern parts of the tribe of Juda, chap. i. 16. This is mentioned, that we might know how his wife came to be in those parts, ver. 17, &c. Whether he had given information to Jabin of these movements, as he was at peace with him, we cannot assert; but his being mentioned in... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Judges 4:10-16

10-16. Siser's confidence was chiefly in his chariots. But if we have ground to hope that God goes before us, we may go on with courage and cheerfulness. Be not dismayed at the difficulties thou meetest with in resisting Satan, in serving God, or suffering for him; for is not the Lord gone before thee? Follow him then fully. Barak went down, though upon the plain the iron chariots would have advantage against him: he quitted the mountain in dependence on the Divine power; for in the Lord alone... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Judges 4:10-17

The Defeat of Sisera v. 10. And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh, as Deborah had suggested; and he went up with ten thousand men at his feet, on foot, infantry only, for they had neither chariots nor cavalry; and Deborah went up with him. With their number constantly growing, as new bands from the hills join them, they reach the designated place. v. 11. Now Heber, the Kenite, which was of the children of Hobab, the father-in-law of Moses, or brother-in-law, for the Hebrew word... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Judges 4:1-11

a Woman’s Deliverance Judges 4:1-11 The scene changes to the northern part of Canaan. Deborah probably belonged to Issachar, Judges 5:15 ; but her seat of government was removed to the hill country of Ephraim, probably for greater security. Her spirit was susceptible to God, and she recognized that the hour for the emancipation of her suffering country was at hand. Indeed, the command had gone forth, Judges 4:6 . But the divine method is ever to link command and promise, as we discover in... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Judges 4:1-24

With almost wearisome monotony the story of declension, discipline, and deliverance goes forward. After the eighty years of rest, the children of Israel sinned again, and were delivered into the hands of Jabin. Then followed twenty years of oppression and suffering which became most terrible under Sisera. Once again in penitence the Israelites cried to God and were heard. The story of deliverance this time is full of romance and poetry because associated with the name of Deborah. One can... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 4:11

‘ Now Heber, the Kenite, had separated himself from the Kenites, even from the children of Hobab, the brother-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent as far as the oak in Zaanannim, which is by Kedesh.’ The purpose of this verse is to explain why Heber was where he was when the later events occurred. For some reason Heber had left the group of Kenites who had gathered to Hobab (Judges 1:16). He had not wanted to be a part of Judah. His presence here was providential. As semi-nomads, Kenites... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 4:1-13

Judges 4:1-1 Chronicles : . The Preparation for War.— D’ s framework is found in Judges 4:1-Numbers : and Judges 4:23 f.Judges 4-5. Deborah and Barak Deliver Israel.— The record of this deliverance appears first in a prose and then in a poetical form, of which the latter is the older, written without doubt under the inspiration of the actual events. There are some striking differences between the two versions. In the prose narrative the oppressor of Israel is Jabin, king of Hazor, whose... read more
