But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the host, unto Harosheth of the Gentiles,.... The place from whence they came, and to which they endeavoured to escape: but he followed them, so close all that way, and made such havoc of them, thatall the host of Sisera fell upon the edge of the sword, [and] there was not a man left; no, not one, excepting Sisera, as in Jud 4:17; or "even to one" , as in the original text; not one escaped to Hazor to acquaint Jabin of the loss of his army.
Philo Byblius says, that nine hundred and ninety seven thousand of Sisera's army were slain.
