SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:24
ΒΆ Bendita sobre las mujeres Jael, mujer de Heber cineo; sobre las mujeres bendita sea en la tienda.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Judges 5:24
Verse 24. Blessed above women shall Jael-be] She shall be highly celebrated as a most heroic woman; all the Israelitish women shall glory in her. I do not understand these words as expressive of the Divine approbation towards Jael. See the observations at the end of chap. iv. 24. The word bless, both in Hebrew and Greek, often signifies to praise, to speak well of, to celebrate. This is most probably its sense here.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 24. Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be , etc.] Under the same influence that Meroz was cursed, Jael is blessed, the one for not helping Israel in a public way, the other for doing it in a private manner; this blessing is pronounced, either in a way of prayer that it might be, or in a way of prophecy that it should be, and indeed in both: blessed shall she be above the women in the tent ; above all women that dwell in tents: this being a proper description of a woman, whose character it is to abide in her tent, dwell at home, and mind the business of her family; and may have respect to the manly action she performed in her tent, equal, if not superior, to what was done in the field.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 24-31 - Jael had a special blessing. Those whose lot is cast in the tent, in low and narrow sphere, if they serve God according to the powers he ha given them, shall not lose their reward. The mother of Sisera looke for his return, not in the least fearing his success. Let us take hee of indulging eager desires towards any temporal good, particularl toward that which cherishes vain-glory, for that was what she her doted on. What a picture does she present of an ungodly and sensua heart! How shameful and childish these wishes of an aged mother and he attendants for her son! And thus does God often bring ruin on his enemies when they are most puffed up. Deborah concludes with a praye 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 __________________________________________________________________
