Have they not sped? have they not divided the prey; to every man a damsel or two; to Sisera a prey of divers colours, a prey of divers colours of needlework, of divers colours of needlework on both sides, meet for the necks of them that take the spoil?
¿No han tenido éxito? ¿No han repartido lo que capturaron? Cada hombre recibe una muchacha o dos; para Sísara hay telas coloridas, paños bellamente bordados con colores en ambos lados, perfectos para los cuellos de quienes toman los premios de guerra.
Los enemigos de Israel se imaginaban dividiendo el botín de guerra con confianza, pero su presunción fue su perdición.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This verse is part of the Song of Deborah in the Book of Judges, a poetic victory hymn sung after the Israelites defeated the Canaanite army led by Sisera in a battle orchestrated by God through Deborah and Barak. It mocks the anticipated spoils of war that Sisera's people might expect, such as captive women and luxurious embroidered textiles, reflecting the brutal customs of ancient Near Eastern conflicts where victors claimed people and goods as trophies. This highlights the cultural mindset of the time, where warfare often involved dehumanizing the enemy and dividing plunder.
