And the LORD discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that Sisera lighted down off his chariot, and fled away on his feet.
The Lord discomfited Sisera - Hebrew, threw his army into confusion. The disorder was produced by a supernatural panic (see the note at Judges 4:20).
So that Sisera lighted down off his chariot, and fled away on his feet. Sauve qui peut-`Every man look to himself'-became the order of the day. Sisera's chariot, being probably distinguished by its superior size and elegance, would betray the rank of its rider, who saw, consequently, that his only chance of escape was on foot. His flight was in a different direction from that of his army.
