Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Judges 5:19-22

_ _ describes the scene of battle and the issue. It would seem (Judges 5:19) that Jabin was reinforced by the troops of other Canaanite princes. The battlefield was near Taanach (now Ta’annuk), on a tell or mound in the level plain of Megiddo (now Leijun), on its southwestern extremity, by the left bank of the Kishon.

_ _ they took no gain of money — They obtained no plunder.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Judges 5:12-23.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Judges 5:19

The kings — There were divers petty kings in those parts who were subject to Jabin. Megiddo — Taanah and Megiddo were two eminent cities, not far from mount Tabor, nor from the river Kishon. No gain — They fought without pay, whether from mere hatred of the Israelites, and a desire to be revenged upon them: or from a full hope and confidence of paying themselves abundantly out of Israel's spoils.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Judges 5:19

The kings came [and] fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of (p) money.

(p) They won nothing, but lost all.
