Some women love the Proverbs 31 virtuous woman, and some hate her. For the latter, she is an unreachable ideal, and this section of scripture leaves them feeling inadequate. But we may have completely mischaracterized this woman all along, and that will be good news for my friends who have a hard time living up to her ideal. While traditionally she may be seen as a woman of virtue or a woman of noble character, biblically, she is a woman of valor. If we add to that knowledge context, this is a poem written by a woman for a man found in a book about wisdom, then we will move away from seeing this poem as to-do list of all the things we need to do to be a good wife or a good mother.
The Hebrew Word Chayil in Proverbs 31
To appreciate the meaning behind the Proverbs 31 woman, we must place it in the proper context. First, we must understand that Proverbs 31: 10-31 is written as an acrostic poem in a book about wisdom. The first verse sets the tone for the entire poem.
I will not go through it verse by verse. Instead, I want to focus on that first verse. This will help you set a framework by which you can take it verse by verse later on.
The first verse of this poem is…..
“An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels.” Proverbs 31:10 ESV
The term excellent, as found in the ESV, is also as translated as noble character, virtuous, worthy, and good in other English versions of the Bible. (I looked at fourteen versions to be exact by doing a quick survey in the Blue Letter Bible ). In other words, when you read this verse in your English Bible, you will likely walk away with the idea that this ideal woman is virtuous and/or noble. Unfortunately, that is not what the verse is talking about at all.
These words (excellent, noble, virtuous) are translated from the ancient Hebrew word pronounced as “chayil.”  Chayil is what appears in the ancient versions of the manuscripts on which the Bible is based. It is the Hebrew word behind our current English translation. The problem? It is erroneously translated. Why do I know this? By looking at how this same word is translated in other parts of the Bible, it doesn’t even come close to excellent, noble, or virtuous.
The True Meaning of a Chayil Woman
If you click here, you will find a Biblical outline of how the word chayil is translated throughout the Bible. It is translated as army 56 times, as man of valor 37 times, as host 29 times (as in a military host that is), as forces 14 times, as valiant 13 times, as strength 12 times, as riches 11 times, as wealth 10 times, and so on. The Gesenius’ Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon says that the meaning of this word is strength, power, might (especially warlike), and valor. Below are some examples of how chayil is translated in other sections of scripture.
Chayil in Other Parts of the Bible
II Chronicles 17:17 Â Of Benjamin: Eliada, a mighty man of valor [chayil], with 200,000 men armed with bow and shield. ESV
Exodus 14:9 The Egyptians pursued them, all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots and his horsemen and his army [chayil], and overtook them encamped at the sea, by Pi-hahiroth, in front of Baal-zephon. ESV
II Samuel 17:10 Then even the valiant [chayil] man, whose heart is like the heart of a lion, will utterly melt with fear, for all Israel knows that your father is a mighty man, and that those who are with him are valiant [chayil] men. ESV
Do you see the disconnect with the English translations of Proverbs 31:10?
Chayil is a Military Term
Proverbs 31:10 is not talking about an excellent or noble wife. It is talking about a strong, valiant, or even warrior-like wife, a woman of valor. Not that there is anything wrong with being excellent or noble or virtuous. Those are all good things, but we have to be true to the scripture and interpret the verse in light of the true meaning of the Hebrew word behind its English meaning. The use of a military term here also resonates with another military-like term used to refer to women during Creation, the Hebrew word ezer (See my article The Powerful Meaning of Help Meet).
When I first discovered this consistent use of military terms, it impacted me greatly. It redefined how I viewed myself as a woman and how I would raise my daughters. Yes, I want them to grow up showing the love of Christ and having noble and virtuous qualities. But I also want them to be strong, brave, and warrior-like in their faith and spiritual walk. I want them to be tenacious and bold. I want them to be chayil women, women of valor.
Proverbs 31:10 is not talking about an excellent or noble wife. It is talking about a strong, valiant, or even warrior-like wife. Share on XProverbs 31 Was Not Written for Women
Another error we make as women when we read Proverbs 31 is that we think it was written to us. While there is so much we can glean from this poem, the reality is that Proverbs 31 was written to a man. A mother wrote it for her son. Verse 1 of Proverbs 31 identifies this son as King Lemuel. This was first brought to my attention in a blog I read, Eshet Chayil: A Hebraic Perspective, as I researched this topic. Other commentaries also agree that the intended audience was a man.
Why does this matter? Because, as women, when we read everything that the Proverbs 31 woman managed to do, we sometimes get discouraged and feel like there is no way we can live up to this incredible woman. She was a businesswoman, she planted her own fields, she gave to the poor, and so on. It is overwhelming to think about. However, rest easy, women, the point of this section of scripture is not about how we are to live up to it (although there is certainly lots of wisdom to be gleaned from it). Rather, I believe that the point is for men to appreciate all that God-fearing women do.
This takes us back to the word chayil. God doesn’t do anything half-heartedly. Every word in scripture has a purpose and a place. This poem about this woman, written for a man, was spirit-inspired and made it into our Bibles for a reason. Why would God use this military word chayil that was usually used to refer to men of war? What would a man reading this get out of it?
Chayil is a Word a Warrior King Could Understand
While meditating and praying through these questions, my husband came to mind. He is a retired Marine. He is a man’s man. Men easily gravitate to him. Why? I think it is the warrior in him. I also thought about the men my husband admires. They are valiant warriors. They are the guys who will battle through enemy riddled streets against all odds. They are the Chesty Pullers and the Chris Kyles of the world. As a student of war, I have also found that warriors are bound to other warriors, and King Lemuel was likely a warrior. Out of necessity, kings from ancient history were seasoned men of war (or at least trained to be).
So here is this king with a warrior’s heart. He receives a poem from his mother that refers to a highly praised woman as valiant, as chayil. Why? Because the intent is to get the king to appreciate this woman and her efforts to the same degree that he would value any mighty man of war. Western culture, with its romanticized view of marriage, will ignore that in times past, kings didn’t marry women out of love. It was usually for political expediency and/or lust. The life of King David demonstrates both. Therefore, women, generally, didn’t have a place of honor in their husbands’ lives like a fellow warrior would (see Jonathan, Brave Warrior, Humble Prince).
But in this poem, God, through the king’s mother, is elevating this woman to a place of honor. What she does day in and day out is just as brave as a soldier at war. Ladies, if that doesn’t give you goosebumps, I don’t know what will.
If you ever wondered if God notices what you do, reading Proverbs 31 should put that to rest. He wants men to see you and give you the same respect they would give their war brothers. God sees you, the woman who loves Him and who fights for her family, her church, and her community, as valiant, strong, and as a warrior. You are a woman of valor.
Digging Deeper into Proverbs 31
Now that I have laid out this framework, it is time for an exercise. I invite you to reread Proverbs 31 with your new understanding of the meaning of the word chayil. The word appears at the beginning of Proverbs 31:10 but also towards the end in Proverbs 31:29. All of her works are encapsulated by these two verses that speak of her valor and strength. (Feel free to also read my blog on Proverbs 31:17, Woman, Gird Up Your Loins.) With that in mind, consider the following questions.

Luisa, thank you, great insight. Look forward to diving into this more.
Great article I love righteous and mentally as well as physically strong warrior women, will marry me a woman like that! I just found out that Jael is a proverbs 31 woman, because she defended herself from Sisera according to Judges 5:27, Sisera attempted to rape Jael, threw her to the ground, overpowered her and pinned her hands over her head and straddled her, but Our Heavenly Father put her spirit upon her and she was able to break free of his grip right before he could rape her! Than after that Sisera came at her a second and tried to overpower her again but with Superhuman strength from Our Heavenly Father, she was able to subdue him and had him on his back and was able to straddle him and she saw a nearby tent peg and hammer, so she immediately grabbed them while still trying to keep him from getting back up so that he could not try and rape her again, and she pounded the peg through his temples and into the ground and he instantly died! She killed him in the same exact spot on the ground of her tent where he tried to rape her twice, and where she overpowered him twice! He never thought that he would end up dying in those soft, petite and feminine hands that he was pinning down with his hard, large and masculine hands, never underestimate Our Heavenly Father or his sons and daughters! And this shows that in judges CH 4 there should be 26 verses not 24, the translators removed those two verses about Our Heavenly Father giving Jael Super Natural strength to Jael to protect herself from Sisera and in the verse about his death at her hands they added in her “approaching stealthly” or”tiptoeing” or “went softly unto him” and they also added in Sisera sleeping, which are lies from Lucifer/ Satan to make Jael look bad and Sisera look like some helpless victim, and to make women and girls think that Our Heavenly Father will not come to a woman’s rescue when she us in danger! And you all already know that the Woman of Thebez in Judges CH 9 is a proverbs 31 woman, and there us this other woman’s story outside of the bible that mirrors Jael’s story accept her attacker did not come under the false pretence if peace like Sisera did with Jael, and her name is Mira O’Connell and like Jael’s story, she story also got complete victory over her male attacker and would be rapist, resulting in his total defeat at her hands just like how Sisera was totally defeated at Jael’s hands! The proverbs 31 woman truly is interesting and Jael is also the Bible’s female David and Samson in one, and Sisera was an offspring of the fallen angles from Genesis 6 since it says in Judges 5 that the Heavens and the stars fought against him, and now we can see why she is called blessed, and if she had had any bad intentions towards Sisera she would not be called that! Here is link to other article, scroll down to the bottom comments and look at the last two and you all will see the rest of the truth! B
https://fruiyfullywomen.com/jael-in-the-bible/ Be blessed!
https://fruitfullywomen.com/jael-in-the-bible/ And I am thankful to Our Heavenly Father that he revealed to me the truth about the actual story of Jael and Sisera and that it has been corrupted and twisted to teach the wrong messages that are of Lucifer/Satan, and this is also a lesson that shows that not everything in the bible is true and that when things don’t sound or look right you have to pray and do research. I looked up terms in the bible for sex and that’s how I found out that the language in Judges CH 5 is an description of an attempted rape and that Our Heavenly Father empowered Jael to fight back and defend herself by driving a tent peg through his temples an into the ground ending the threat forever. Sisera was a rage rapist and tried to brutally and violently rape her, he attacked her, threw her to ground, overpowered her and had her hands pinned over her head and straddled her(Like he and his men did to so many other women and girls, and he and his men would mutilate them as well, and sex traffic them and murder them!) in the boy on top sex position, and Sisera(like I have already said) was an offspring of the fallen angels so he had super strength and was a large man, so Our Heavenly Father empowered her with divine strength, she overpowered him and broke free of his grip before he could rape her and pushed him off, he got back up and came at her again and physically tried to overpower her again in an second attempt to brutally rape her but instead she was able to overpower him again for a second time and pin him down on his back while on top and straddled him and help him down firmly to prevent him from turning her over to try and defile her again she and got a nearby tent peg and hammer and drove it into the side of his head( his temples) and he died in the exact same spot where he tried to rape her(he attempted to rape her twice!)! She truly is The Bibles’s Female David and Samson! And it (as well as Mira’s story) teaches that Our Heavenly father can give women the strength to fight back against sexual advances and attempted rape and prevent it all together, I cannot wait for Jael’s story to be restored, and when Our Heavenly Father and his son come down and the thousand years of piece begins the entire bible not just Jael’s story will be restored to what it was before translators corrupted and changed it over the centuries, she not only saved herself that day but all of Israel and her divine strength is like that of a mother lifting a car off of her child Jael was like a mother and Isreal was like her child and she lifted the danger off of her child before it could crush her! Have a blessed day! And I appreciate your husbands service to this country! Be blessed!
And another thing I want to point out is that unlike Mira O’Connell, Jael had no martial arts or self defence training and she was able to overpower Sisera twice, and the second time, hold him down on his stomach and chest, straddle him to keep him from getting up and trying to rape her and while on top of his back, she got a nearby tent peg and hammer and ended the threat to her safety and life in the same exact spot on the ground of her tent where he tried to rape her! Our Heavenly Father will protect you and give you supernatural strength like he did these two women (Including The Woman of Thebez!) to protect yourself regardless if you know self-defense or not, and what makes Jael’s story really interesting is that Sisera was also a SUPERSOLDIER like Goliath because the offspring of the Fallen angels had great strength and they were battle hardened as well so for Our Heavenly Father to give Jael Devine strength to overpower and kill one in self-defence is a miracle and Jael is the first human to defeat one, I know Barak and them defeated and killed Sisera’s army who were also nephlim, but I mean the first human to dominate one in a physical one on one confrontation and the first and only woman to do so and this makes Jael the Bible’s Female David and Samson! And the complete victory and domination of both women’s attackers and would be rapists(Sisera and Marine Corporal Michael Robert Magirl) at the hands of these brave righteous and humble women brings one verse to mind Psalms 110 KJV”The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.” So these two women did just that! Those two men thought they could strip those women naked and rape them and take away their dignity, honor and pride as women(As they both did to so many other women, and Sisera did this to both women and girls!) but they thought wrong, at first they were like Giant Snakes getting ready to devote their prey, but Our Heavenly Father stepped in and gave the SUPERHUMAN STRENGTH and they were able to protect themselves and get the upper hand over their attackers and would be rapists, the women metaphorically became larger than life Giantesses and both Giant Snakes became smaller than life specs of dust being crushed under the soft, feminine humble, kind,loving, nurturing and compassionate sole of a woman! Be blessed!
And the two Giant snakes(Sisera and Marine Corporal Michael Robert Magirl!) tried to devour their prey and they both got crushed under the warm, soft, compassionate loving, caring larger than life giantess bare sole(both women were literally barefoot, Mira was wearing nothing but underwear and a T-shirt and Jael was wearing clothes that she would wear around her tent during the day!) of a woman both snakes became the size of a spec of dust compared to them! And this brings another verse to mind Genesis 3:15 KJV “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” Thanks to Our Heavenly Father who gave these women SUPERHUMAN STRENGTH, and enabling them to do prevent thier own rape and saved so many future would be victims and both women rose from would be victims to victors and Mira is a modern day Jael! And two years after defeating and putting down her would be rapist, she became a Police officer for Albuquerque Police and after 15 years she took over as COE of her fathers Company ERGOGRIPS in 2019 and the company makes grips and other accessories for guns!
And Sisera and Magirl were both military men, and since they were like snakes they were both servants if Satan sent to defile women, and since Sisera was a Nephilim he was very large,tall and strong, and was probably almost the same height as Goliath or might have been the same Night, who knows and his hands were very large and strong too and Jael’s hands were small, delicate and soft, so it is a miracle that despite having her hands pinned over her head, she was able to overpower Sisera and break free of his grip, stop the rape from happening and put an end to her would be rapist once and for all! And another thing that’s interesting about judges 4 and 5 is that Deborah was the only female Judge of Israel and in a position of power which was something not common back in those days for women and in Mira’s story after she put an end to her would be rapist she went and became a police officer, than a sergeant than 15 years later CEO of her father’s company. So I cannot wait for the truth to come out about Jael’s story because not only it will change how women are viewed worldwide in different cultures and in every aspect of life, but it will also bring everyone closer to Our Heavenly Father and realize that nothing is impossible without him and Jael and Mira became like Larger than Life Giantesses crushing the once giant snakes under their larger than life soft bare soles, they were reduced to the size of a spec of dust crushed under the soft and feminine bare sole of a woman!, this is all thanks to Our Heavenly Father who strengthened them to protect themselves and prevent their own rape!
Proverbs 31 was also an educated woman, not just a woman with street smarts, verse 15 talks about her giving meat to her household and geving a portion to her maidens and verse 16 talks about her buying a field and with the fruit of her hands planting a vineyard, and verse 31 talks about giving her the fruit of her hands and letting her own works praise her in the gates, we are not told about Jael’s or the woman of Thebez’s education but Deborah was a Judge in Israel so obviously she was educated and Mira O’Connell also earned a Bachelors of Science in Occupational Education and a few other things. Part of Satan/ Lucifer’s plan is not only violence against women and girls and silencing them but also to keep them ignorant and in educated which is what is currently happening in Afghanistan. And that sanitized and softened version of Jael’s story that people believe is ridiculous and I should have picked up on it back when I first read it back in 2017, because Sisera being a soldier would have known that Jael was tricking him and the story would be different, that’s how you can tell that that’s not the real story and the real story is what Our Heavenly Father showed me which I listed above and on the other article about Jael, the false story is just as laughable as Abimelech’s request to his armourbearor to kill him so that a woman wouldn’t, even though he was not fighting a war in the traditional sense, he was targeting and warring against non combatants(civilians) trying to murder them all for rebelling against his evil, and just like with Sisera and Magirl there was no “shame” “embarrassment” or “humiliation” in him being killed by a woman since he was the one initiating violence against her and her people and tried to burn them alive in their tower, he was just a weak insecure misogynist just like Sisera and Magirl! After this I have 2 or 3 mor comments to leave, be blessed!
Nephilims had strong skin, bodies and bones so for Jael to be able to hold one down and drive a nail through the temples and into the ground to protect herself since he was trying to regain control and flip her over so that he could rape her is a miracle and it’s because of Our Heavenly Father who gave her the strength and he may have been the same height as Goliath, Mira is the modern day Jael and Magirl was not an offspring of fallen angels like Sisera was, and was not as big heavy or strong as Sisera but he was still a big guy and weighed a bit if you look at the comments section back on the article about Jael, and they were both highly trained soldiers and Sisera was battle hardened and Magirl had training and was a Marine Corporal and may have been battle hardened too, Jael was not trained in martial arts or self-defense but Mira was! Both Sisera and Magirl became the size of specs of dust crushed under the larger than life soft, feminine and dainty giantess barefoot of a woman, both snakes came to humble women and they funded up crushed under the soft,dainty and beautiful barefoot of a woman! And also Just as Satan is after those weaker than himself because he knows he cannot attack Our Heavenly Father so he decided to attack humans instead, just as Sisera preyed on women, Abimelech preyed on civilians, and Magirl preyed on women, they were all brought down by the ones they sought to dominate and control and kill, Our Heavenly Father protects those who love him from Lucifer/Satan and his soldiers, like he did with these women!
And the woman represents the Bride of Christ which is Israel and we are supposed to be an example of how people are supposed to live, and each attacker(Sisera, Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal, and Michael Robert Magirl) represents the Antichrist and the Serpent(Lucifer/Satan) and Isreal (The woman) crushes the head of the Serpent, Sisera slithered up to Jael’s tent under the false pretence of peace and than showed his true colors when he tried to violate her so with the spirit of Our Heavenly Father upon her she was able to overpower him twice, and the second time was able to hold him down between her legs and killed him with tent peg and hammer by hammering it through his Nephilim head( the temples), Abimelech and his army of snakes went to attack Thebez and war against it’s inhabitants (civilians non-combatants) and forced them all into a tower and he tried to set it on fire, but Our Heavenly Father put his spirit upon the woman who was in the tower and she was able to lift the very large and heavy piece of a millstone and throw it down with such force that it broke open his skull and stopped him from setting the tower on fire, and Abimelech has one of his snakes to bite him to death so that he would not be recorded as being killed by a woman, Michael Magirl Slithered into Mira’s house and went into her bed and had a pantyhose mask on his face and woke her up by shining light into her eyes, and as soon as she started to fight back the serpent threatened to kill her if she did not let him humble her, so Our Heavenly Father put his spirit upon her and she lifted and rolled him off of her(he was 175 pounds!) and onto the floor and she had gotten his gun from his grip and shot at him three times one bullet hit his arm, the other one hit his chest, severing his aorta and fatally wounding him. She went over to him and tore off his mask and revealed him to be a Serpent, after that she left with his gun to go to a neighbor’s house to call 911, after she left he slithered from her bedroom and into the hallway of her home and he died. In each story the woman(Israel) crushes the head of the Serpent/ Antichrist! You already see this in Genesis 3:15 and so it will come to pass, Our Heavenly Father has already one and Satan and his army of Snakes will be destroyed in the lake of fire forever!
And Jael did not just defend her own honor, she defended her husbands honor too, because if Sisera had succeeded at stripping Jael naked than, her husband’s (Heber’s) nakedness would have been uncovered and so she defended both of their honor, and I will do a summary, Sisera came to Jael’s tent under the ruse of peace and exploited the trust he had with Heber and his wife Jael, Jael goes out and welcomes him in and tries to come him believing that he is innocent and gives him a blanket as he gets into his bed, than all of a sudden he ordered her to give him water, but she had milk instead(Water had to be drawn from lake or well)and she covered him again, than here comes the BIG RED FLAG, he tells her to stand guard at the door (As if she were his watchdog)Jael obviously refused even though her response is not recorded, so this is when Sisera reveals his true intentions and he lunges at Jael beats her and threw her to the ground got on top of her and with his large massive strong hands pinned her small weak soft hands to the ground (Man on top sex position) and started kissing on her face to arouse himself and arouse her against her will than with one hand he continued to pin her hands over her head and the other attempting to tear off her clothes, but before he could even expose her breasts or expose any part of her body that’s when Our Heavenly Father stepped in, put his spirit upon her and she overpowered him and got him off of her! He came at her again a second time and she was able to subdue him and pin him down face down on his stomach and chest and used her legs to hold his head still and had control over his head and she knew he would overpower her and flip her over to try and get back on top and she would be finished so she grabbed a nearby tent peg and hammer and killed him with one blow to his temples and the peg went instantly into the ground and he died immediately between her legs! And Mira O’Connell was divorced and her and her ex husband were sharing custody of their child (Child was still with father when attack happened)and Mira(Modern day Jael) was able to defend her honor and put Magirl down! And before the divorce, her and her husband took Jiu-jutsu classes together and she learned how to escape the position known as the guard and she was able to escape from under Magirl and defend herself! Jael and Heber were not divorced, both women were empowered by Our Heavenly Father to defend themselves, their honor and pride as women and both Serpents (Sisera and Michael Robert Magirl) both reduced to the size of specs of dust and Ended up being crushed under the larger than life soft, beautiful, feminine, compassionate and dainty barefoot of a woman! And Sisera was a rage rapist and he had planned on raping and murdering Jael before going back to Canaan to get reinforcements and fight again another day, and Magirl was a power rapist, and Sisera was of the Nephilim bloodline and Magirl was just a human being and both of them were highly trained soldiers and Sisera was battle hardened and Sisera was probably the same size as Goliath! Both ended up being defeated by women who put his spirit upon them, both women became instruments of justice for all the families that these two snakes ruined up and all of the women and girls they raped, Now you all can see why Jael was blessed above women and women of the tent! After this I have just two more comments!
It’s amazing and out of this world that this small petite woman was given divine strength to subdue and straddle a Giant highly trained and battle hardened Nephilim in self-defense and pin him down face down and was able to hold his head between her legs to prevent him from getting up and flipping her back over again, or else he would have had his way with her and murdered her after he would of finished, so she after she had control of his body (If you can control the head you can control the body, and Sisera was completely naked since he tore off all of his armour and clothes to defile And humble Jael but thanks to Our Heavenly Father, he never had a chance!) she than grabbed nearby tent peg and hammer and killed him in the exact same spot where he tried to rape her, the very spot where he tried to rape her twice was the spot of his demise and it’s justice for all of the women and girls that he raped over the 20 years he oppressed Israel. he literally and instantly died between the feet and legs of a woman(At the feet of a woman!)! And It is also a miracle that 23 years ago he gave Mira divine strength to defend herself and not against a Nephilim but a full human being and she won, both women have never been raped before and were not about to let that happen I know that Jael’s husband and Mira’s ex husband were proud of their wives for defending themselves against men who tried to rape them, real men are not intimidated by a women’s strength they admire and respect it and you can see this in Barak when he is singing the song with Deborah the prophetess and he is in Hebrews 11:32 as one if the heroes of faith, even though he might have been afraid he did not show it and instead showed strength and trusted Our Heavenly Father that they would defeat Sisera and his army and that Sisera would be delivered into a woman’s hand and that Barak would get Sisera after Jael killed him in self-defense! And prophets were supposed to go to the battlefield because that’s what was always done, here is a vers from Exodus 17:12-13 KJV”But Moses’hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.” So Barak was doing the right thing to want Deborah to come with him, people who want to make the ridiculous argument that he was somehow a weak or not a real man obviously are either brainwashed or are lying through their teeth, and Deborah was supposed to be Judging Israel The Heavenly Father raised her up! And Jael killing Sisera in immediate self-defense did not just save her life but also saved all of Israel, Our Heavenly Father gave Jael the strength that she needed to save herself and lift the oppression off of Israel just as he gave Mira the strength to lift the danger of Magirl off of Albuquerque New Mexico and just like how he gives mothers the strength to lift cars off of their children, and like how he gave Samson the strength to protect Israel from the Philistines and Jael was not trained in fighting or self defence but Mira was! Both Serpents (Sisera and Magirl) once Giants were reduced to the size of specs of dust before the women, and the women by the power of Our Heavenly Father were transformed into LARGER THAN LIFE GIANTESSES and they crushed the smaller than life Serpents under their dainty, compassionate, soft, smooth and feminine LARGER THAN LIFE BAREFOOT and ended the threat to their safety and others once and for all and Our Heavenly Father can give anyone SUPERNATURAL HUMAN STRENGTH in a crisis if they need it regardless of gender or size strength etc. I have two more comments to leave after this!
After this I will leave two more comments, the first one will be about Abimelech in Judges CH 9 and the second one will be a closing comment. Here is something that I forgot to say tester day, in Jael’s and Mira’s stories both Serpents were on top and the women that they tried to rape were on the bottom than right before they could do Satan’s work Our Heavenly Father put his spirit upon them than they both ended up on top and in control and both Serpents(Sisera the Commander of King Jabin’s 900 Iron chariots, and Michael Robert Magirl the Marine Corporal who participated in Vietnam!) ended up on the bottom reduced to the size of tiny specs of dust and the women became LARGER THAN LIFE GIANTESSES, and each woman crushed the tiny spec of dust sized Serpents under her soft, smooth, dainty, compassionate, smooth, girly, clean and feminine LARGER THAN LIFE GIANTESS BAREFOOT! And real men like Barak, Heber,(And all the other real men of the bible!) and Mira’s ex husband honour that because a man will protect a woman and when he is not there to protect her and Our Heavenly Father gives her the strength to protect herself, they honor it because Our Heavenly Father honors that and does not mind giving a woman SUPERNATURAL DIVINE STRENGTH to save herself or someone else if she needs to! He will give her that same strength that he would a man, if she had to defend herself, her family or save someone else! I cannot wait to do my last two important comments, Satan has also tried to make the Woman of Thebez look bad and Abimelech look good! Satan’s deception has and is being exposed! The seed of the woman has indeed crushed the seed of the Serpent and the final one who shall do the crushing is a man and he is Our Heavenly Father’s son and the final Serpent will be Lucifer/Satan himself!
Both Serpents (Sisera and Michael Magirl) became footstools for the women they tried to rape and the women were sitting on thrones triumphant over the once dangerous Serpents now completely defeated and dead at their feet, and they set as Judges who were empowered by Our Heavenly Father as instruments of his justice and protection for themselves and others! Now the truth about Judges CH 9, Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal(Gideon) he murdered his 70 brothers like a coward and likely lowerd them to his father’s house so that he could kill them or assassinate them and he killed them upon one stone as a sacrifice to Baal Berith just to become King of Israel or Shechem and three years later after he became King, him and the men of Shechem turned against each other and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with him and they were robbing people but they were really trying to get Abimelech. And Gaal comes into town and basically says that the people should serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem instead of Abimelech since his (Abimelech’s)mother not father is a Sechemite, so Abimelech was not a Sechemite. And he says that Abimelech should increase his army and come out to fight him and Zebul the ruler of the city hears this he sends Abimelech messengers to let him know and instead of facing Gaal in the daytime like a man, he waits until it gets dark and faces him like a coward and ambushes him and wounds some of his men and Gaal was forced out of town. And the next day because the people revolted against his evil and sided with Gaal he and his men attacked them and killed all the people in the city and than Abimelech waited until the men of Shechem were gathered together in tower and then Abimelech and his army took branches and put them to the hold of the tower and set them on fire and the tower was on fire and killed a thousand men and women, non combatants he was not fighting a war just terrorizing people and murdering them and he went to Thebez, encamped against it, took the city and he obviously killed people and like in the other city the men tried to stop Abimelech to protect themselves and their families even though they were not military men like Abimelech and his army and all of the survivors (mostly women and children with a a few men) went to a strong tower and closed the doors shut and went to top of the tower and Abimelech went to the tower and went straight to the door of the tower to burn it with fire and than a woman in the tower found a large piece of a millstone and threw it down at Abimelech’s head and stopped him from setting fire to the tower and it broke open his skull and fatally wounded him, and like a coward he calls out to his armour bearer and says “Draw thy sword, and slay me, that men say not of me,A woman slew him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died.” In judges 9:45 and 52 when it says he “fought against” this is an attempt by the translators to make him seem as if he were fighting a army when in reality he was a terrorist attacking non combatants and the only combatants he attacked was gaal and his men and this was at night when he could easily catch Gaal off guard and he did not win fear in square but though cowardice! And most people misinterpret him as “having pride as a man, because it would make him look weak being killed by a woman.” and they also claim that “Being killed by a woman is a shameful legacy, especially back in those days.” Both of these lies are laughable and these lies are really about shaming the women (Jael and woman of Thebez and women in general) for defending themselves against men who wanted to harm them and try and make them look like the aggressors and make Sisera and Abimelech look like victims and in Judges 9:54 Abimelech himself tried to make himself look like a victim and the woman the aggressor which is what Satan does and as a matter if fact what Abimelech said in Judges 9:54 is directly from the mouth of Lucifer/ Satan himself coming out if the lips and mouth of Abimelech, he and his army and his armour bearer were nothing but thugs and punks in armour, and Judges 9:54 is not only insulting to women who have defended themselves from men and killed men in self defense but it is also insulting to men that actually are victims to female aggressors! And in 2 Samuel 11:21 when Joan is talking to messenger he says “Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, that he died in Thebez? why went ye high the wall? then say thou, Thy servent Uriah the Hittite is dead also.” So about 200 years later after judges 9 they were trying to twist the woman’s story and trying to make Abimelech look good and the woman look bad and leave out the truth that Abimelech was a terrorist and he was not fighting a war or army but was trying to kill the people of Thebez and was killed in self defense by a female civilian in the tower he tried to burn and Abimelech was a cowardly weak man. Often women always get judges for defending themselves from men and are often criminalized for it, the deception in judges 4 and 5 can be seen only if you understand the language in judges 5:27 but the deception in Judges 9 can easily be seen, and Satan’s plan to make Abimelech look good failed and the truth about Sisera is going to be exposed very soon!
