The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Judges 4:1-9

The Prophetess Deborah Calls Barak v. 1. And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord, literally, "they added, or continued to do, wickedness," when Ehud was dead; for he had kept down the spirit of idolatry and maintained a successful defensive position against all enemies. v. 2. And the Lord sold them into the hand of Jabin, king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor, evidently a very important city-state; for its king had stood at the head of a strong league of northern... read more

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

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's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 4:9

Judges 4:9 a ‘And she said, “I will surely go with you. Except that now the journey you take will not be for your honour, for Yahweh will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman.” Deborah’s confidence in Yahweh was total and she unhesitatingly agreed. But as a result of his unwillingness to trust God on his own Barak was now warned that the greatest honour of victory, the slaying of Sisera, would not be his. Instead it would be by a woman’s hand, although it would still be Yahweh’s doing. Barak... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 4:10

‘ And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali together to Kedesh. And there went up ten eleph of men at his feet, and Deborah went up with him.’ Zebulun and Naphtali responded to his call and sent him the ten units of fighting men that he asked for. All knew what this meant. The die was cast. They would be seen as rebels. And he led them up Mount Tabor. And Deborah, as she had promised, went with them. ‘At his feet’ indicates that they followed him up the ascent. It was probably a great comfort to... read more

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

Notwithstanding the journey, Heb. the way, i.e. the course or practice, as the way is taken, Numbers 22:32. A woman; either, 1. Jael; or rather, 2. Deborah, who being, as it were, the judge and chief commandress of the army, the honour of the victory would be ascribed to her. But for Jael, her fact would have been the same, though Barak had gone into the field without Deborah. read more
