Listen to Jueces 5:17-27
17 Galaad se qued贸 al otro lado del Jord谩n; y Dan 驴por qu茅 se estuvo junto a los nav铆os? Aser se asent贸 a la ribera del mar, y en sus quebraduras se qued贸.
18 El pueblo de Zabul贸n expuso su vida a la muerte, y Neftal铆 en las alturas del campo.
19 Vinieron reyes y pelearon; entonces pelearon los reyes de Cana谩n en Taanac, junto a las aguas de Meguido, mas no llevaron ganancia alguna de dinero.
20 De los cielos pelearon; las estrellas desde sus caminos pelearon contra S铆sara.
21 Los barri贸 el arroyo de Cis贸n, el antiguo arroyo, el arroyo de Cis贸n. Pisaste, oh alma m铆a, con fortaleza.
22 Los cascos de los caballos se embotaron entonces, por las pisadas, por las pisadas de sus valientes.
23 Maldecid a Meroz, dijo el 谩ngel del SE脩OR; maldecid severamente a sus moradores, porque no vinieron en socorro al SE脩OR, en socorro al SE脩OR contra los fuertes.
24 Bendita sobre las mujeres Jael, mujer de Heber cineo; sobre las mujeres bendita sea en la tienda.
25 El pidi贸 agua, y ella le dio leche; en taz贸n de nobles le present贸 crema.
26 Su mano tendi贸 a la estaca, y su diestra al mazo de trabajadores; y maj贸 a S铆sara; le quit贸 la cabeza; hiri贸, y atraves贸 sus sienes.
27 Cay贸 encorvado entre sus pies, qued贸 tendido; entre sus pies cay贸 encorvado; donde se encorv贸, all铆 cay贸 muerto.

Jueces 5:17-27 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO JUDGES 5

This chapter contains a song of praise on account of the victories obtained over Jabin, and his kingdom; after an exhortation to praise is given, and kings excited to attend to it, the majestic appearance of God at Seir, on Sinai, is observed, to raise in the mind a divine veneration of him, Jud 5:1-5; then the miserable state and condition Israel was in before these victories, and therefore had the more reason to be thankful, Jud 5:6-8; the governors, and judges, and the people that were delivered, together with Deborah and Barak, are stirred up to rehearse the righteous acts of the Lord, and bless his name, Jud 5:9-13; and those who willingly engaged in the war are praised, and such who were negligent reproved, and some even cursed, Jud 5:14-23; but Jael, Heber's wife, is particularly commended for her exploit in slaying Sisera, Jud 5:24-27; and the mother of Sisera, and her ladies, are represented as wondering at his long delay, and as assured of his having got the victory, Jud 5:28-30; and the song is concluded with a prayer for the destruction, of the enemies of the Lord, and for the happiness and glory of them that love him, Jud 5:31.
