Contextual Overview

²⁴ "Most blessed of women be Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, of tent-dwelling women most blessed. ²⁵ He asked for water and she gave him milk; she brought him curds in a noble's bowl. ²⁶ She sent her hand to the tent peg and her right hand to the workmen's mallet; she struck Sisera; she crushed his head; she shattered and pierced his temple. ²⁷ Between her feet he sank, he fell, he lay still; between her feet he sank, he fell; where he sank, there he fell—dead. ²⁸ "Out of the window she peered, the mother of Sisera wailed through the lattice: ‘Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why tarry the hoofbeats of his chariots?' ²⁹ Her wisest princesses answer, indeed, she answers herself, ³⁰ ‘Have they not found and divided the spoil?— A womb or two for every man; spoil of dyed materials for Sisera, spoil of dyed materials embroidered, two pieces of dyed work embroidered for the neck as spoil?' ³¹ "So may all your enemies perish, O Lord ! But your friends be like the sun as he rises in his might." And 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.
