Judges 4:22 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 4:22

And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera
Knowing the way he took, at least as he supposed:

Jael came out to meet him;
as she did Sisera, but with greater pleasure:

and said unto him, come, and I will show thee the man whom thou
seekest;
for she full well knew whom he was in pursuit of:

and when he came into her [tent];
at her invitation:

behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail [was] in his temples:
which she did not attempt to draw out, but left it there, that it might be seen in what way she had dispatched him.

22 And, behold, Barac pursuing Sisara: and Jael went out to meet him, and he said to him, Come, and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest: and he went in to her; and, behold, Sisara was fallen dead, and the pin in his temple.
