Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary

Untitled

Translated Open passage

The method of the history of Deborah and Barak (the heroes in this chapter) is the same with that before. Here is, I. Israel revolted from God, Jdg 4:1. II. Israel oppressed by Jabin, Jdg 4:2,3. III. Israel judged by Deborah, Jdg 4:4,5. IV. Israel rescued out of the hands of Jabin. 1. Their deliverance is concerted between Deborah and Barak, Jdg 4:6,9. 2. It is accomplished by their joint-agency. Barak takes the field, Jdg 4:10. Sisera, Jabin's general, meets him, Jdg 4:12,13. Deborah encourages him, Jdg 4:14. And God gives him a complete victory. The army routed, Jdg 4:15,16. The general forced to flee, Jdg 4:17. And where he expected shelter he had his life stolen from him by Jael while he was asleep (Jdg 4:18-21), which completes Barak's triumph (Jdg 4:22) and Israel's deliverance, Jdg 4:23,24.

Judges 4 Introduction

Translated Open passage

The Israelites again rebel against God, and they are delivered into the hands of Jabin, king of Canaan, Judges 4:1, Judges 4:2. They cry unto God, and he raises up Deborah and Barak to deliver then, Judges 4:3-10. Some account of Heber the Kenite, Judges 4:11. Barak attacks Sisera, captain of Jabin's army, at the river Kishon, and gives him a total overthrow, Judges 4:12-16. Sisera leaves his chariot, and flies away on foot; enters the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber, by whom he is slain, while secreting himself in her apartment, Judges 4:17-24.

INTRODUCTION TO Judges 4

This chapter shows how that Israel sinning was delivered into the hands of Jabin king of Canaan, by whom they were oppressed twenty years, Judges 4:1; and that Deborah and Barak consulted together about their deliverance, Judges 4:4; and that Barak, encouraged by Deborah, gathered some forces and fought Sisera the captain of Jabin's army, whom he met, and obtained a victory over, Judges 4:10; who fleeing on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber, was received into it, and slain by her while asleep in it, Judges 4:16; which issued in a complete deliverance of the children of Israel, Judges 4:23.

Judges 4 Introduction

Translated Open passage

Chs. 4 and 5. Deborah and Barak deliver Israel from the Canaanites

The account of the deliverance exists in two versions, one in prose (ch. 4), the other in poetry (ch. 5). The two agree in the main: the chief actors are the same, Deborah, Barak, Sisera, Jael; the Canaanites are defeated with Jehovah’s powerful aid in a battle near the Kishon; Sisera is murdered by Jael in her tent. But there are some striking disagreements: in ch. 4 the oppressor is Jabin king of Hazor, and Sisera of Harosheth is his general; Deborah is connected with Ephraim, Barak with Kedesh; two tribes only, Zebulun and Naphtali, take part in the battle; Jael murders Sisera while he lies asleep by driving a tent-peg through his temples. On the other hand, ch. 5 knows nothing of Jabin, Sisera is the head of a confederacy of Canaanite kings (Jdg 5:19), and is in fact a king, his mother has princesses for attendants (Jdg 5:29); apparently both Deborah and Barak belong to Issachar (Jdg 5:15); the struggle is on a much larger scale, all the tribes are summoned to arms, and for the first time Israel acts almost as a nation (Jdg 5:13-18); Jael fells Sisera with a mallet while he is standing and drinking (Jdg 5:26 f.). Comparing the two versions there can be no doubt as to which we are to follow; the Song is obviously ancient, and may well be contemporary with the events it describes; it is not only one of the finest odes in the Hebrew language, but it possesses the highest value as a historical document. Moreover the prose narrative is not consistent with itself. How is it that Jabin has no share in the battle, and allows Barak to muster his forces at Kedesh, within a few miles of Hazor, and pass unmolested almost under its walls? Why did Sisera take refuge with Jael rather than with Jabin whose city was close at hand? It is evident that Jabin is out of place in this narrative; he must have been introduced into it from Joshua 11:1-15 JE, underlying which is probably an ancient tradition of a struggle between Jabin king of Hazor and the two tribes of Zebulun and Naphtali, assembled at Kedesh for the fight, in the early days of the Israelite invasion. How this Jabin-tradition came to be mixed up with the story of Sisera we cannot exactly tell; perhaps it was because both were concerned with fighting in northern Palestine, and with fighting against Canaanites; the two were then superficially harmonized by reducing Sisera to the position of general of Jabin’s army. It is noteworthy that the combination was effected before Psalm 83:9 and 1 Samuel 12:9 (D) were written, and before the Dtc. compiler of Judges provided ch. 4 with his introduction and conclusion. The narrative of the battle between Sisera and the tribes of Israel, which remains when the Jabin-tradition is withdrawn, seems to have preserved an independent tradition where it differs from ch. 5: e.g. in the account of Sisera’s death, and of the negotiations between Deborah and Barak; while the addition of such names as Tabor, Harosheth, which harmonize with the general situation implied in ch. 5, is perfectly natural in a prose version. The hand of the Dtc. compiler reveals itself in Jdg 4:1-3; Jdg 4:23-24, Jdg 5:31 b.

DEBORAH AND BARAK DELIVER ISRAEL FROM JABIN AND SISERA.

1. The children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord, when Ehud was dead--The removal of the zealous judge Ehud again left his infatuated countrymen without the restraint of religion.

Judges 4:1

Translated Open passage

When Ehud was dead - Why not when Shamgar was dead? Does this not intimate that Shamgar was not reckoned in the number of the judges?

John Gill's Exposition of the Bible

Judges 4:1

Translated Open passage

And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord,.... Which was the fruit and effect of the long rest and peace they enjoyed; and which is often the case of a people favoured with peace, plenty, and prosperity, who are apt to abuse their mercies, and forget God, the author and giver of them; and the principal evil, though not expressed, was idolatry, worshipping Baalim, the gods of the nations about them; though it is highly probable they were guilty of other sins, which they indulged in the times of their peace and prosperity:

when Ehud was dead; Shamgar is not mentioned, because his time of judging Israel was short, and the people were not reformed in his time, but fell into sin as soon as Ehud was dead, and continued. Some choose to render the words, "for Ehud was dead" (t), who had been, the instrument of reforming them, and of preserving them from idolatry, but he being dead, they fell into it again; and the particle "vau" is often to be taken in this sense, of which Noldius (u) gives many instances.

(t) "enim, vel quia Ehud", Bonfrerius; so Patrick. (u) Concord. Ebr. part. p. 285, 295.
