The holy story having set down the peoples deliverance out of their 1great calamity and oppression from Siseras army, goeth on in this eighth verse, and showeth the cause why they were cast upon them, and that was for their idolatry, by means whereof (it is said) they had no heart to take up weapon, no not any of them throughout all the tribes, against their enemies. In the next three verses, all sorts are stirred up and called to praise God, 2that took benefit by the victory and deliverance, as shall be particularly showed, when I shall come unto them by the order of the text. Now to begin with the eighth verse, Barak and Debora utter this in this part of their song, that then the war began to oppress the Jews, and the enemies to besiege their cities and gates, where they held their judgement seats, when they had turned to idolatry: so that this was the cause of their grievous punishment.
