Judg 5:28 | MHM | STEP | v. 28-30 : The song turns to Sisera’s mother, who was eagerly waiting for her son to return victorious. She wondered why his chariot was taking so long to arrive (Judges 5:28 ). Her wise ladies tried to comfort her, imagining that Sisera was delayed because he was dividing the spoils of war and collecting treasures, including beautiful garments and captives (Judges 5:29-30 ). But they were wrong—Sisera was not coming back. This scene shows how human pride and false hopes can lead to disappointment and shame. Sisera’s mother’s confidence in her son’s success was shattered by his unexpected death.
