Contextual Overview
24 "Ya‘el will be blessed more than all women. The wife of Hever the Keini will be blessed more than any woman in the tent. 25 He asked for water, and she gave him milk; In an elegant bowl she brought him curds. 26 Then she took a tent peg in her left hand and a workman's hammer in her right; with the hammer she struck Sisra, pierced his skull, yes, she shattered and crushed his temple. 27 He sank down at her feet, he fell and lay there; he sank at her feet, he fell — where he sank down, there he fell dead. 28 "Sisra's mother looks out the window; peering out through the lattice she wonders, ‘Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why are his horses so slow to return?' 29 The wisest of her ladies answer her, and she repeats it to herself, 30 ‘Of course! They're collecting and dividing the spoil — a girl, two girls for every warrior, for Sisra booty of dyed clothing, a plunder of colorfully embroidered garments, two embroidered scarves for every soldier's neck.' 31 "May all your enemies perish like this, Adonai ; but may those who love him be like the sun going forth in its glory!" Then the land had rest for forty years.

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.
