Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 16. - Barak pursued after the chariots. Barak, supposing Sisera still to be with the chariots, pursued after them, and seems to have overtaken them, as they were embarrassed in the rotten, boggy ground which had been suddenly overflowed by the swollen waters of Kishon. Many were swept away by the flood and drowned, the rest put to the sword while their horses were floundering in the bog (Judges 5:21, 22). But Sisera had meanwhile escaped on foot unnoticed, and fled to the tents of the friendly Kenites.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(16) There was not a man left.--The massacre in all battles in which the fugitives have to escape over a river and contend with a storm is always specially fatal. The memory of this terrible carnage was preserved for years, together with the circumstance that the soil was enriched by the dead bodies (Psalm 83:10). Similarly at Waterloo, the year after the battle a blaze of crimson poppies burst out over the plain, and the harvests of the subsequent years were specially rich."The earth is covered thick with other clay,Which her own clay shall cover."The scene of the battle of Marius at Aquae Sextiae was long called Fourrieres (a corruption of Campi Putridi) for the same reason; and the site of Cannae is still known as Pezzo di Sangue.
