Read Judges 5.19-27. In verses 20-21: The heavenly forces of the divine warrior fight, and the Kishon River overwhelms the enemy. In verse 22: The escaping chariot horses are vividly described. In verse 23: Both the town Meroz and the incident cited are otherwise unknown. In verses 26-27: In this version Sisera seems to be standing when attacked (contrast 4.21). The penetrating tent peg and his fall "between her feet" (NRSV: at her feet) probably have sexual implications. This scene may be a reversal of the customary rape alluded to in v. 30.
