Judges 5:25

"“Jael shall be blessed above women, the wife of Heber the Kenite; blessed shall she be above women in the tent."

Key Reflection

In Judges 5:25, Jael's act of killing Sisera, the Canaanite general, is celebrated as a divine intervention, positioning her as a figure of God's blessing above other women in the context of domestic life. This verse highlights how even in the most unexpected and unconventional roles, faithfulness to God can bring supernatural rewards and recognition.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Butter -Rather curdled milk, probably a fermented and intoxicating drink. All these marks of respect and friendship would lull Sisera into security.
