On the contrary part let us thus think of Sisera. 1He was an oppressor of the people of God, and now killed by the power of God, and utterly confounded, neither appeared there in him any token of repentance, but rather would therefore hide himself, that escaping this so present a danger, he might again gather a new host against the Israelites. In deed after a sort he was in league with Heber the Kenite: but (as it is to be thought) not with a pure hart, but only to pluck him away from the rest of the Jews, whereby he might have the fewer enemies, & not be compelled to fight with so many enemies at one time. Or else to get of him a great tribute, or some other commodity which he looked for. Farthermore in this his unlucky chance, he calleth upon no God, he imploreth not the prayers of others, but only seeketh hiding places, where he might hide himself till such time, as the rage and brute of the Conquerors were somewhat staked: and only trusted in humane aides and leagues. By these things it easily followeth, that both Jael did her duty, and that Sisera deserved so to be killed.
On the contrary part let vs thus thinke of Sisera. 1He was an oppresser of the people of God, and nowe killed by the power of God, and vtterlye confounded, neyther appeared there in him any token of repentance, but rather would therfore hyde himselfe, that escaping this so present a daunger, he might againe gather a new host against the Israelites. In deede after a sorte hee was in league with Heber the Kenite: but (as it is to be thought) not with a pure hart, but onelye to plucke him awaye from the rest of the Iewes, whereby he might haue the fewer enemies, & not be compelled to fight with so many enemies at one tyme. Or els to get of him a great tribute, or some other commoditye which he looked for. Farthermore in this his vnluckye chaunce, he calleth vpon no God, he imploreth not the prayers of others, but onely seketh hiding places, wher he might hide himselfe tyl such time, as the rage and brute of the Conquerers were somewhat staked: and onely trusted in humane aydes and leagues. By these thinges it easilye followeth, that both Iahel dyd her dutye, and that Sisera deserued so to be kylled.
