"Bukankah mereka mendapat jarahan dan membagi-baginya, gadis seorang dua untuk setiap orang jarahan kain berwarna sehelai dua untuk Sisera, jarahan kain sulaman aneka warna sehelai dua untuk leherku?"
Alkitab Terjemahan Lama
Masakan tiada mereka itu mendapat jarahan dan membahagi-bahagi dia! seorang perempuan, dua orang perempuan akan tiap-tiap orang laki-laki. Satu rampasan pakaian pelbagai warnanya bagi Sisera, satu rampasan pakaian pelbagai warnanya lagi bersuji, sehelai kain pelbagai warnanya yang bersuji dua muka pada bahu orang yang menjarah!

Contextual Overview

24 Iael the wyfe of Haber the Kenite, shalbe blessed aboue other women, blessed shall she be aboue other women in the tent. 25 He asked water, and she gaue him mylke, she brought foorth butter in a lordly dysshe. 26 She put her hande to the nayle, & her ryght hande to the smythes hammer: with the hammer smote she Sisara, & smote his head, wounded him, and pearsed his temples. 27 He bowed him downe at her feete, he fell downe, and lay styll: At her feete he bowed him selfe, & fell. And whe he had sunke downe, he lay there destroyed. 28 The mother of Sisara loked out at a wyndowe, and cryed thorowe the lattesse: Why is his charret so long a commyng? Why tary the wheeles of his charettes? 29 Al the wyse ladyes aunswered her, yea and her owne wordes aunswered her selfe. 30 Surely they haue found, they deuide the spoyles, euery man hath a damsell or two: Sisara hath a pray of diuers couloured garmentes, euen a pray of rayment dyed with sundry colours, and that are made of nedle worke: rayment of diuers colours and of nedle worke on both sydes, which is meete for him that is chiefe in distributing of ye spoyles. 31 So perishe all thine enemies, O Lord: But they that loue him, let them be as ye sunne whan he ryseth in his myght. And the lande had rest fourtie yeres.

Have they not sped: Exodus 15:9, Job 20:5

every man: Heb. the head of a man

of divers: Genesis 37:3, 2 Samuel 13:18, Psalms 45:14

Reciprocal: Exodus 27:16 - needlework Judges 5:19 - they took Judges 15:14 - the Philistines 2 Samuel 1:24 - General 1 Kings 2:9 - hold him 2 Kings 3:23 - now therefore Psalms 124:6 - who hath not

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Have they not sped?.... Or "found" u the enemy, Barak and his army, or the spoil of them? no doubt they have:

have they not divided the prey? doubtless they have, which being large, and the captives many, has taken up much of their time to look over, and make an equal and proper division of, and that most certainly is the cause of the delay:

to every man a damsel or two? or "a womb or two w", using both unchaste and contemptuous language x, and pleasing themselves with the virgins of Israel being abused by the common soldiers, which was too frequently the case with the Heathens at gaining a victory:

to Sisera a prey of divers colours, a prey of divers colours of needlework, of divers colours of needlework on both sides; suits of clothes of different colours, such as were the works of the women of Sidon y, and those curiously interwoven or wrought with a needle, and that on both sides of the silk or material of which they were made; and so such as were of great worth and esteem, and such it was expected, and with confidence and assurance of it, Sisera would bring with him, and make presents of to his mother and her ladies, or which he would have for his own wear and use, or both:

meet for the necks of them that take the spoil? the general of the army, and the chief men to whom the spoil was brought, and then divided suitably to the rank and quality of every soldier. Pliny z says, the Phrygians first invented the art of needlework; hence the garments wrought, and those that made them, were called after their name; but it is certain it was known by the ancient Hebrews and Canaanites, see

Exodus 26:36.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Render the latter part of the verse “a booty of dyed garments for Sisera, a booty of dyed garments and of party-colored cloth, a dyed garment and two party-colored clothes for the necks of the booty,” the spoil or booty being either captive damsels, or captive cattle on whose necks these clothes are to be placed (either as ornament or as a burden; compare Judges 8:21, Judges 8:26). But possibly “the necks of the booty” may mean the backs or shoulders (of men or beasts) laden with booty.
