Judg 4:17 | MHM | STEP | The Death of Sisera This section shows how God completed the victory over the Canaanites by bringing down Sisera, their powerful general. The Israelites’ enemies had trusted in their strength, but God used surprising ways to defeat them. The story of Sisera’s fall teaches us not to trust in our own power, but to rely on God. It also shows how God can use even unexpected people and methods to accomplish His plans. v. 17 : Sisera, the captain of Jabin’s army, escaped on foot after his army was defeated (Judges 4:15, 17 ). He used to trust in his chariot and his strength, but now he had to run away, leaving his pride behind. Just like the Bible says, put not your trust in princes (Psalm 146:3 ), because even the strongest can quickly become weak. Sisera looked for safety with the Kenites, a peaceful group that Jabin did not attack, hoping that their tents would be a safe place to hide.
