Judges 4:17–22

¹⁷And Sisera hath fled on his feet unto the tent of Jael wife of Heber the Kenite, for peace is between Jabin king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite; ¹⁸and Jael goeth out to meet Sisera, and saith unto him, ‘Turn aside, my lord, turn aside unto me, fear not;’ and he turneth aside unto her, into the tent, and she covereth him with a coverlet. ¹⁹And he saith unto her, ‘Give me to drink, I pray thee, a little water, for I am thirsty;’ and she openeth the bottle of milk, and giveth him to drink, and covereth him. ²⁰And he saith unto her, ‘Stand at the opening of the tent, and it hath been, if any doth come in, and hath asked thee, and said, Is there a man here? that thou hast said, There is not.’ ²¹And Jael wife of Heber taketh the pin of the tent, and taketh the hammer in her hand, and goeth unto him gently, and striketh the pin into his temples, and it fasteneth in the earth—and he hath been fast asleep, and is weary—and he dieth. ²²And lo, Barak is pursuing Sisera, and Jael cometh out to meet him, and saith to him, ‘Come, and I shew thee the man whom thou art seeking;’ and he cometh in unto her, and lo, Sisera is fallen—dead, and the pin in his temples.
