John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Judges 5:25

Butter — Or, cream, that is, the choicest of her milk: so the same thing is repeated in different words. Lordly dish — Which you are not to understand of such a costly dish as the luxury of after ages brought in, which is not agreeable to the simplicity either of this family, or of those ancient times; but of a comely and convenient dish, the best which she had, and such as the better sort of persons then used. Probably Jael at that time intended him no other than kindness, 'till God by an immediate impulse on her mind, directed her to do otherwise.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes
