SEV Biblia, Chapter 4:20
Y él le dijo: Estáte a la puerta de la tienda, y si alguien viniere, y te preguntare, diciendo: ¿Hay aquí alguno? Tú responderás que no.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Judges 4:20
Verse 20. Stand in the door of the tent] As no man would intrude into the women's apartment without permission, her simply saying, there is no man in my tent, would preclude all search.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 20. And he said unto her, stand in the door of the tent , etc.] This he said, not in an imperious way, as some think, but by entreaty: and it shall be, when any man shall come and inquire of thee ; seeing her at the door, and where he desired she would stand to prevent their coming into the tent: and say, is there any man here ? any besides what belongs to the family? or any of Sisera’s army? that thou shalt say, no ; there is no man; but to this she made no answer that is recorded.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 17-24 - Sisera's chariots had been his pride and his confidence. Thus are thos disappointed who rest on the creature; like a broken reed, it not onl breaks under them, but pierces them with many sorrows. The idol ma quickly become a burden, Isa 46:1; what we were sick for, God can make us sick of. It is probable that Jael really intended kindness to Sisera; but by a Divine impulse she was afterwards led to consider his as the determined enemy of the Lord and of his people, and to destro him. All our connexions with God's enemies must be broken off, if we would have the Lord for our God, and his people for our people. He tha had thought to have destroyed Israel with his many iron chariots, in himself destroyed with one iron nail. Thus the weak things of the worl confound the mighty. The Israelites would have prevented much mischief if they had sooner destroyed the Canaanites, as God commanded an enabled them: but better be wise late, and buy wisdom by experience than never be wise __________________________________________________________________
