The Song of Deborah and BarakThe River Kishon The Kishon River is a significant geographical feature in the biblical narrative, often associated with divine intervention. In Hebrew, "Kishon" may derive from a root meaning "to bend" or "to wind," reflecting the river's meandering path. Historically, the Kishon River is known for its role in the defeat of Sisera's army, as described in Judges 4 and 5. The river's swelling, possibly due to a sudden storm, is seen as an act of God, aiding Israel's victory. This event underscores the theme of God's sovereignty over nature and His ability to use creation to fulfill His purposes. swept them away the ancient river the River Kishon March on, O my soul, in strength! That ancient river.--The Vulgate renders this, "the torrent Kedumim," and the LXX. (Cod. Vat.), "the river of the ancients" (comp. Deuteronomy 33:15). The Chaldee paraphrases it, "the torrent on whose banks illustrious deeds have been done from the ancient times of Israel." As the Plain of Jezreel has been in all ages the battle-field of Israel, the Kishon must always have played an important part in these struggles, as when the Turks were drowned in its swollen waves on April 16th, 1799. We know, however, of no ancient fame of Kishon before these events; and some render it. "the torrent of meeting armies," or "of slaughters" (Ewald), deriving Kedumim from an Arabic root; or "the torrent of succours," connecting the word with Kiddeem (see Psalm 79:8, &c., Heb.). Aquila renders it by "the torrent of siroccos" (Kaus?n?n); and Symmachus, "the torrent of goats" (wild waves, egers, and bores). . . . Verse 21. - Ancient. The word so rendered is only found here. The brook of ancient days, or things, probably means the brook celebrated from of old by the warlike deeds done on its banks.Parallel Commentaries ...
