Curse Meroz! One opinion is that this was a star.38Sisera’s protective star. (Rashi to Moed Katan, 16:a). According to others, this was a distinguished person who was near the battle field but failed to appear.39Moed Katan ibid.

To assist Adonoy. As if it were possible,41 כביכול, “as if it were possible,” is used as a caveat when human qualities seem to be attributed to Adonoy. if anyone comes to Yisroel's assistance, it is as if he were assisting the Divine Presence.42Yalkut, 55.

To the assistance of the Lord with the warriors: She repeated the matter, to explain what assistance it was. So she said, to the assistance of the people of the Lord, who are fighting with the warriors - and [the warriors] are Sisera's men.
