Judges 5:21

"From the sky the stars fought. From their courses, they fought against Sisera."

Key Reflection

This verse uses vivid imagery to depict divine intervention in Sisera's defeat, suggesting that heavenly bodies were aligned to support Israelite victory, thereby emphasizing the supernatural element in God’s deliverance and the spiritual warfare against adversaries.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The word translated ancient occurs only here. The phrase probably means that Kishon was celebrated from ancient times on account of the battles fought on its banks.
