士師記 4:22-24 JC

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Judges 4:17-24

We have seen the army of the Canaanites totally 3434 routed. It is said (Ps. 83:9, 10, where the defeat of this army is pleaded as a precedent for God's doing the like in after times) that they became as dung for the earth. Now here we have, I. The fall of their general, Sisera, captain of the host, in whom, it is likely, Jabin their king put an entire confidence, and therefore was not himself present in the action. Let us trace the steps of this mighty man's fall. 1. He quitted his chariot,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Judges 4:22

And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera ,.... Knowing the way he took, at least as he supposed: Jael came out to meet him ; as she did Sisera, but with greater pleasure: and said unto him, come, and I will show thee the man whom thou seekest ; for she full well knew whom he was in pursuit of: and when he came into her tent ; at her invitation: behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his temples : which she did not attempt to draw out, but left it there, that it might be... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Judges 4:23

So God subdued on that day Jabin king of Canaan before the children, of Israel. Freed Israel from subjection to him and delivered him into the hands of the Israelites; for Josephus F15 Antiqu. l. 5. c. 5. sect. 4. says, that as Barak went towards Hazor, he met Jabin, and slew him; who perhaps having heard of the defeat of his army under Sisera, came forth with another against Israel, which being overcome by them, he was slain, and the city utterly destroyed, as the same writer says;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Judges 4:24

And the hand of the children of Israel, prospered and prevailed against Jabin, the king of Canaan ,.... They continued their wars with him, in which they were successful: until they had destroyed Jabin, king of Canaan ; took him, and put him to death, and took his cities, and destroyed the inhabitants of them, and so acted more agreeably to the declared will of God, that they should not spare the Canaanites, but destroy them. read more

Behold , Sisera lay dead - What impression this made on the victorious Barak is not said: it could not give him much pleasure, especially when he learned the circumstances of his death. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 4:24

The hand of the children of Israel prospered - הלוך ותלך vattelech haloch , it went, going - they followed up this victory, and the consequence was, they utterly destroyed Jabin and his kingdom. It will naturally be expected that something should be said to justify the conduct of Jael: it must be owned that she slew Sisera in circumstances which caused the whole transaction to appear exceedingly questionable. They are the following: - There was peace between her family... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Judges 4:24

See the margin. The meaning is, that Barak’s great victory was the beginning of a successful resistance to Jabin, by which the Israelites recovered their independence, and finally broke the Canaanite power. Accordingly, we hear no more of Canaanite domination in the Book of Judges. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Judges 4:21-22

Judges 4:21-22 . Then Jael took a nail of the tent That is, one of that sort on which the cords of the tent were fastened, and which consequently were of a large size. Come, and I will show thee the man whom thou seekest Thus both parts of Deborah’s prophecy concerning Sisera were fulfilled. He was delivered into the hand of Barak, according to the prediction, Judges 4:7; but not alive, and therefore not to Barak’s honour, as was foretold Judges 4:9. For, when he came into her tent,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Judges 4:1-24

Deliverance under Deborah (4:1-5:31)Hazor, chief city of the north, had been conquered and burnt by Joshua (Joshua 11:10-13). However, not all the people had been destroyed. Having rebuilt Hazor, they now took revenge on the northern tribes, especially Zebulun and Naphtali, and ruled them cruelly for twenty years (4:1-3). (To understand fully how God saved Israel at this time, we must read the historical outline in Chapter 4 together with the song of victory in Chapter 5.)Israel’s deliverer on... read more
