Richter 5:29 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 5:29

Her wise ladies answered her
Every one in their turn endeavouring to comfort her and make her easy. The Vulgate Latin version is,

``one that was wiser than the rest of his wives;''

but they seem rather to be her maids of honour, or ladies of her acquaintance, who were come to pay her a visit, and share in the pleasing sight they expected to have of Sisera:

yea, she returned answer to herself;
before they could well give theirs, she soon recollected herself what might be, and must be, the occasion of this delay; and this, according to the Targum, she made in her wisdom, what her great wisdom quickly suggested to her was certainly the case, and with which she comforted and quieted herself.

Richter 5:29 In-Context

27 Zwischen ihren Füßen krümmte er sich, fiel, lag da; zwischen ihren Füßen krümmte er sich, fiel; da, wo er sich krümmte, fiel er überwältigt.
28 Durchs Fenster schaute aus Siseras Mutter und rief ängstlich durch das Gitter: Warum zaudert sein Wagen zu kommen? Warum zögern die Tritte seiner Gespanne?
29 Die Klugen unter ihren Edelfrauen antworten ihr, und sie selbst erwidert sich ihre Reden:
30 Finden sie nicht, teilen sie nicht Beute? Ein Mädchen, zwei Mädchen auf den Kopf eines Mannes? Beute an bunten Gewändern für Sisera, Beute an buntgewirkten Gewändern; zwei buntgewirkte Gewänder für den Hals der Gefangenen. -
31 Also mögen umkommen alle deine Feinde, Jehova! Aber die ihn lieben, seien wie die Sonne aufgeht in ihrer Kraft! Und das Land hatte Ruhe vierzig Jahre.
