28 “Out of the window she looked and wailed,
The mother of Sisera through the [a]lattice,
‘Why does his chariot delay in coming?
Why do the [b]hoofbeats of his chariots delay?’
29 Her wise princesses would answer her,
Indeed she repeats her words to herself,
30 (A)Are they not finding, are they not dividing the spoils?
A concubine, two concubines for every warrior;
To Sisera a spoil of dyed cloth,
A spoil of dyed cloth embroidered,
Dyed cloth of double embroidery on the [c]neck of the plunderer?’
