George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Judges 5:30

Necks. Hebrew, "the spoils of various colours, the embroidery of divers colours, on both sides, for the necks (of the captors) of the spoil." (Haydock) --- Or more simply, "for the neck (general) of the army;" (Vatable) or "the necks of the soldiers," who will be laden with the abundance of spoils. (Calmet) --- The ladies dwell with great delight on the thought of possessing rich embroidery or needle work. How dreadfully would their hopes be blasted, when a few hours after they saw Barac at... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Judges 5:24-31

24-31 Jael had a special blessing. Those whose lot is cast in the tent, in a low and narrow sphere, if they serve God according to the powers he has given them, shall not lose their reward. The mother of Sisera looked for his return, not in the least fearing his success. Let us take heed of indulging eager desires towards any temporal good, particularly toward that which cherishes vain-glory, for that was what she here doted on. What a picture does she present of an ungodly and sensual heart!... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Judges 5:19-31

The Defeat and Death of Sisera v. 19. The kings came and fought, said figuratively of the leaders of Jabin's army; then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo, for the two cities are barely three miles apart, and the plain is watered by several small tributaries of the Kishon. They took no gain of money, they did not get so much as one piece of silver as booty nor one ounce of money to buy them off. v. 20. They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought... read more

The Fate Of The EnemyJudges 5:24-3124Blessed among women be Jael,The wife of Heber, the Kenite,Blessed among women of the tents!25He asks for water, she gives him milk,In a beautiful bowl she carries him cream.26With her left she takes the nail,57With her right the heavy hammer,Swings it over Sisera, smites his head,Crashes through, and transpierces his temples.5827At her feet he curls himself and falls,At her feet he lies, curls himself again, and falls,And as he curls himself again,... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Judges 5:24-31

at the Mercy of Midian Judges 5:24-31 ; Judges 6:1-6 What a contrast our reading suggests between those that love the Lord and go from strength to strength in the undimming luster and influence of their life, and the evil that once more brought the tyrant’s yoke upon this neck of Israel! Yet these alternations have too often befallen us. At one moment Sisera and his hosts are chased before us as sheep before the dog; then a reaction sets in and the hand of Midian prevails against us. Why... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Judges 5:1-31

Here we have preserved for us the great song of Deborah, composed and sung in celebration of the victory. It is full of fire and passion and is a remarkable index to the character of the woman herself. It may be divided into two main parts. First, verses one to eleven is a great chant of confidence, telling the story of the deepest secret of the victories. Everything is attributed to the direct government and activity of God. In it she recognized that the leaders were raised and the people... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 5:28-30

The Mother of Sisera, a Stark Contrast to Jael (Judges 5:28-30 ). Looking back through the ages we rightly feel pity for this poor woman waiting for her son. But then they were not our daughters whom her husband would have raped and enslaved, decked in stolen finery (Judges 5:30-31). She had had no pity for them then, only delight in his doings. Her heart had been pitiless towards those less fortunate, and less pampered, than herself. Judges 5:28 “Through the window she looked out and... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 5:28-30

Judges 5:28-Amos : . The Mother of Sisera.— There is irony— almost matchless irony— in the closing lines of the poem, but it is not cruel mocking irony. The words were neither written, nor meant to be recited or sung, in a spirit of derision. Can any one read them now without emotions of pity and fear? With inimitable art, in the manner of the highest tragedy, the poet depicts a group of high-born, light-hearted women, upon whom is falling, unseen, the shadow of death. The scene in the harim... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Judges 5:30

Have they not divided the prey? i.e. it is certain they have got the prey, only they tarry to view it and distribute it, according to every man’s quality and merit. Of them that take the spoil, Heb. of the prey; the prey put for the men of prey, those, or who take the prey; as kindred is put for a man of kindred, or a kinsman, Ruth 3:2; and Belial, for a man of Belial, 2 Samuel 16:7; and days, for a man of days, or an old man, Job 32:7. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Judges 5:23-31

CHAPTER 5—Judges 5:23-31THE MISERABLE END OF THE WICKEDCRITICAL NOTES.— Judges 5:23. Curse ye Meroz, etc.] (See above p. 285.) No fellow creature may presume to pronounce a curse on another, at their own instance, from any cause whatever. This passage cannot be pleaded as an example, for the prophetess expressly declares it was the doing of the Angel-Jehovah. The sin was one of omission; but though it seemed to be nothing more than neutrality, it implied in reality covert sympathy with the... read more
