“At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down dead.”
'Out of the window peering, the mother of Sisera gazed; why is his chariot so long in coming? Why tarry the hoofbeats of his chariots? — The shift to Sisera's mother's perspective introduces tragic irony: while she waits expectantly for Sisera's return, he lies dead in Jael's tent. The question 'why is his chariot so long in coming?' suggests her initial hope that he might still arrive victorious.
