Albert Barnes Commentary Judges 5:24

"Blessed above women shall Jael be, The wife of Heber the Kenite; Blessed shall she be above women in the tent." — Judges 5:24 (ASV)

The blessing here pronounced is in strong contrast with the curse of Meroz. Deborah speaks of Jael’s deed by the light of her own age, which did not make manifest the evil of guile and bloodshed; the light in ours does.
