Contextual Overview
24Jael is most blessed of women,the wife of Heber the Kenite;she is most blessed among tent-dwelling women. 25He asked for water; she gave him milk.She brought him cream in a majestic bowl. 26She reached for a tent peg,her right hand, for a workman’s hammer.Then she hammered Sisera—she crushed his head;she shattered and pierced his temple. 27He collapsed, he fell, he lay down between her feet;he collapsed, he fell between her feet;where he collapsed, there he fell—dead. 28Sisera’s mother looked through the window;she peered through the lattice, crying out:“Why is his chariot so long in coming?Why don’t I hear the hoofbeats of his horses?” 29Her wisest princesses answer her;she even answers herself:30“Are they not finding and dividing the spoil—a girl or two for each warrior,the spoil of colored garments for Sisera,the spoil of an embroidered garment or two for my neck?” 31Lord, may all your enemies perish as Sisera did.But may those who love himbe like the rising of the sun in its strength.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Her wise ladies answered her,.... Every one in their turn endeavouring to comfort her and make her easy. The Vulgate Latin version is,
"one that was wiser than the rest of his wives;''
but they seem rather to be her maids of honour, or ladies of her acquaintance, who were come to pay her a visit, and share in the pleasing sight they expected to have of Sisera:
yea, she returned answer to herself; before they could well give theirs, she soon recollected herself what might be, and must be, the occasion of this delay; and this, according to the Targum, she made in her wisdom, what her great wisdom quickly suggested to her was certainly the case, and with which she comforted and quieted herself.
