On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Jael in the tent wins as rich a blessing as Barak in the field. Nothing is more confounding, grievous, and shameful, than disappointment, and Deborah here does most elegantly describe two great disappointments, the shame of which was typical of sinners' everlasting shame. Sisera found a fatal enemy where he expected a firm and faithful friend.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Blessed - Celebrated, and endowed with all sorts of blessings more than they. In the tent - In her tent or habitation, in her house and family, and all her affairs: for she and hers dwelt in tents. The tent is here mentioned as an allusion to the place where the fact was done.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
