Hakim-hakim 4:22

4:22 Now Barak was chasing Sisera. Jael went out to welcome him. She said to him, “Come here and I will show you the man you are searching for.” He went with her into the tent, ¹  and there he saw Sisera sprawled out dead ²  with the tent peg in his temple.

Hakim-hakim 8:15

8:15 He approached the men of Succoth and said, “Look what I have! ³  Zebah and Zalmunna! You insulted me, saying, ‘You have not yet overpowered Zebah and Zalmunna. So why should we give bread to your exhausted men?’” ⁴ 

[4:22]  ¹ tn Heb “he went to her.”

[4:22]  ² tn Heb “fallen, dead.”

[8:15]  ³ tn Heb “Look!” The words “what I have” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[8:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “Are the palms of Zebah and Zalmunna now in your hand, that we should give to your exhausted men bread?”

[8:15]  sn Gideon changes their actual statement (see v. 6) by saying exhausted men rather than “army.” In this way he emphasizes the crisis his men were facing and highlights the insensitivity of the men of Succoth.
