Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.
The picture is of rulers of hostile armies routed and driven in hasty flight, while a woman who stayed behind at home portions out the captured spoil. It belongs to David's song of gratitude for rescue out of trials, a song imparted by the Spirit of Christ, the greater David who moved the psalmist to write. The lines around it declare a great host of women to be heralds of the word. It is a paean of victory foretelling Christ in His triumph.
It stands as latter-day prophecy to meet its fulfillment together with Isaiah 58, in the closing work of the third angel's message carried forward by the remnant church beneath the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the latter rain. The onward march of truth is warfare, and those who labor in it partake in the triumph here portrayed.
