“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 threw the Canaanites and Sisera into a panic before Barak; and Sisera got down from his chariot and fled on foot. — The Lord's action ('threw the Canaanites and Sisera into a panic,' וַיְהֹם יְהוָה אֶת־סִיסְרָא) indicates divine agency in generating military confusion. Sisera's abandonment of his chariot and flight 'on foot' suggests desperation and loss of tactical advantage, indicating that chariot superiority became tactically irrelevant when the force panicked.
