Contextual Overview

²⁴ "May Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, be blessed above all women who live in tents. ²⁵ Sisera asked for water, but Jael gave him milk. In a bowl fit for a ruler, she brought him cream. ²⁶ Jael reached out and took the tent peg. Her right hand reached for the workman's hammer. She hit Sisera! She smashed his head! She crushed and pierced the side of his head! ²⁷ At Jael's feet he sank. He fell, and he lay there. At her feet he sank. He fell. Where Sisera sank, there he fell, dead! ²⁸ "Sisera's mother looked out through the window. She looked through the curtains and cried out, ‘Why is Sisera's chariot so late in coming? Why are sounds of his chariots' horses delayed?' ²⁹ The wisest of her servant ladies answer her, and Sisera's mother says to herself, ³⁰ ‘Surely they are robbing the people they defeated! Surely they are dividing those things among themselves! Each soldier is given a girl or two. Maybe Sisera is taking pieces of dyed cloth. Maybe they are even taking pieces of dyed, embroidered cloth for the necks of the victors!' ³¹ "Let all your enemies die this way, Lord ! But let all the people who love you be as strong as the rising sun!" Then there was peace in the land for forty years.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be,.... Under the same influence that Meroz was cursed, Jael is blessed, the one for not helping Israel in a public way, the other for doing it in a private manner; this blessing is pronounced, either in a way of prayer that it might be, or in a way of prophecy that it should be, and indeed in both:

blessed shall she be above the women in the tent; above all women that dwell in tents: this being a proper description of a woman, whose character it is to abide in her tent, dwell at home, and mind the business of her family; and may have respect to the manly action she performed in her tent, equal, if not superior, to what was done in the field.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The blessing here pronounced is in strong contrast with the curse of Meroz. Deborah speaks of Jael’s deed by the light of her own age, which did not make manifest the evil of guile and bloodshed; the light in ours does.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Judges 5:24. Blessed above women shall Jael - be — She shall be highly celebrated as a most heroic woman; all the Israelitish women shall glory in her. I do not understand these words as expressive of the Divine approbation towards Jael. See the observations at the end of Judges 4:24. The word bless, both in Hebrew and Greek, often signifies to praise, to speak well of, to celebrate. This is most probably its sense here.
