1. Sisera (personal name) — The proper noun designating Sisera, primarily the Canaanite military commander under King Jabin of Hazor who was defeated by Deborah and Barak (Judg 4-5), and secondarily a family head among returning exiles (Ezra 2:53; Neh 7:55). All 21 occurrences denote the same name regardless of grammatical preposition (direct, lamed 'to', or kaph 'as/like'). Multilingual evidence: eng 'Sisera / as to Sisera', spa 'Sisera / como Sisera', arb 'سيسَرا / كَسِيسَرَا', kor '시스라 / 시스라처럼', swa 'Sisera / kama Sisera'. The comparative usage (1x, Ps 83:10) is a rhetorical comparison, not a different referent. 21×
