Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Judges 5:28-30.


Judges 5:30

_ _ to every man a damsel or two — Young maidens formed always a valued part of Oriental conquerors’ war-spoils. But Sisera’s mother wished other booty for him; namely, the gold-threaded, richly embroidered, and scarlet-colored cloaks which were held in such high esteem. The ode concludes with a wish in keeping with the pious and patriotic character of the prophetess.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Judges 5:24-31.
