17 Now Sisera had fled away on foot to the tent of Jael wife of Heber the Kenite; for there was peace between King Jabin of Hazor and the clan of Heber the Kenite. 18Jael came out to meet Sisera, and said to him, Turn aside, my lord, turn aside to me; have no fear. So he turned aside to her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug. 19Then he said to her, Please give me a little water to drink; for I am thirsty. So she opened a skin of milk and gave him a drink and covered him. 20He said to her, Stand at the entrance of the tent, and if anybody comes and asks you, Is anyone here? say, No. 21But Jael wife of Heber took a tent-peg, and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him and drove the peg into his temple, until it went down into the groundhe was lying fast asleep from wearinessand he died. 22Then, as Barak came in pursuit of Sisera, Jael went out to meet him, and said to him, Come, and I will show you the man whom you are seeking. So he went into her tent; and there was Sisera lying dead, with the tent-peg in his temple.
