King James Translators' Notes

with...: Heb. she hammered

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

5:24-31 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! How shameful and childish these wishes of an aged mother and her attendants for her son! And thus does God often bring ruin on his enemies when they are most puffed up. Deborah concludes with a prayer to God for the destruction of all his foes, and for the comfort of all his friends. Such shall be the honour, and joy of all who love God in sincerity, they shall shine for ever as the sun in the firmament.


Judges 5:25 "He asked for water and she gave him milk; In a magnificent bowl she brought him curds.
Judges 5:27 "Between her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay; Between her feet he bowed, he fell; Where he bowed, there he fell dead. (NASB ©1995)

with the. Heb. She hammered. she smote off. or rather, 'she smote his head, then she struck through and pierced his temples;' which is more consonant to the original, and to fact, as it does not appear that she smote off his head. 1Sa 17:49-51 2Sa 20:22
