Commentary on Judges 9:19

HENRY_FULL · Judges 9:19
="gen4661" The method of the history of Deborah and Barak (the heroes in this chapter) is the same with that before. Here is, I. Israel revolted from God, ver. 1 . II. Israel oppressed by Jabin, ver. 2, 3 . III. Israel judged by Deborah, ver. 4, 5 . IV. Israel rescued out of the hands of Jabin. 1. Their deliverance is concerted between Deborah and Barak, ver. 6 , 9 . 2. It is accomplished by their joint-agency. Barak takes the field, ver. 10 . Sisera, Jabin's general, meets him, ver. 12, 13 . Deborah encourages him, ver. 14 . And God gives him a complete victory. The army routed, ver. 15, 16 . The general forced to flee, ver. 17 . And where he expected shelter he had his life stolen from him by Jael while he was asleep ( ver. 18-21 ), which completes Barak's triumph ( ver. 22 ) and Israel's deliverance, ver. 23, 24 .
