Understanding the surrounding verses prevents misinterpretation:

The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot {so} long in coming? why tarry the wheels of his chariots?

Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself, {answer: Heb. her words}

Have they not sped? have they {not} divided the prey; to every man a damsel {or} two; to Sisera a prey of divers colours, a prey of divers colours of needlework, of divers colours of needlework on both sides, {meet} for the necks of {them that take} the spoil? {every...: Heb. the head of a man}

So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but {let} them that love him {be} as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
