17. Jael kills Sisera














(15) Discomfited.--The same word as in Exodus 14:24; Joshua 10:10. The LXX. exest?se, and the Vulg. perterruit, imply the element of immediate Divine aid in the battle.

Sisera, and all his chariots.--"Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we will remember the name of the Lord our God" (Psalm 20:7; comp. Psalm 33:16-17; Proverbs 21:31). . . .

Verse 15.- The Lord discomfited, etc. Deborah had announced that the Lord was gone out before the host of Barak, and so the victory was not man's, but the Lord's. "Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts."
