Commentary on Judges 4:22

Theological / Devotional

Sisera lay dead. We do not know how long it was after the death of Sisera that Barak and some of his band arrived in hot pursuit. Perhaps herdsmen living in the hills had observed the fleeing general and had informed Barak and his men of the direction of his flight. As Barak’s eager group followed the trail to the encampment of Heber, great must have been their astonishment when Jael conducted them into her tent and showed them their slain enemy. Thus the narrative that begins with a woman’s courage ends on the same note.
