那時,巴拉追趕西西拉,雅億出來迎接他,對他說:“來吧,我給你看你尋找的人。”他就進到她那裡去;看見西西拉已經仆倒,死了;橛子還在他的太陽穴裡。

Contextual Overview

17 But Sisera himself ran away to the tent where Jael lived. She was the wife of Heber, one of the Kenite family groups. Heber's family was at peace with Jabin king of Hazor. 18 Jael went out to meet Sisera and said to him, "Come into my tent, master! Come in. Don't be afraid." So Sisera went into Jael's tent, and she covered him with a rug. 19 Sisera said to Jael, "I am thirsty. Please give me some water to drink." So she opened a leather bag of milk and gave him a drink. Then she covered him up. 20 He said to her, "Go stand at the entrance to the tent. If anyone comes and asks you, ‘Is anyone here?' say, ‘No.'" 21 But Jael, the wife of Heber, took a tent peg and a hammer and quietly went to Sisera. Since he was very tired, he was in a deep sleep. She hammered the tent peg through the side of Sisera's head and into the ground. And so Sisera died. 22 At that very moment Barak came by Jael's tent, chasing Sisera. Jael went out to meet him and said, "Come. I will show you the man you are looking for." So Barak entered her tent, and there Sisera lay dead, with the tent peg in his head. 23 On that day God defeated Jabin king of Canaan in the sight of Israel. 24 Israel became stronger and stronger against Jabin king of Canaan until finally they destroyed him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera,.... Knowing the way he took, at least as he supposed:

Jael came out to meet him; as she did Sisera, but with greater pleasure:

and said unto him, come, and I will show thee the man whom thou seekest; for she full well knew whom he was in pursuit of:

and when he came into her [tent]; at her invitation:

behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail [was] in his temples: which she did not attempt to draw out, but left it there, that it might be seen in what way she had dispatched him.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Judges 4:22. Behold, Sisera lay dead — What impression this made on the victorious Barak is not said: it could not give him much pleasure, especially when he learned the circumstances of his death.
