    17Meanwhile, Sisera fled on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, because there was peace between Jabin, king of Hazor, and the family of Heber the Kenite.

    18Jael went out to meet Sisera and said to him, "Come, my lord, come right in. Don't be afraid." So he entered her tent, and she covered him with a blanket.

    19He said to her, "Please give me a little water to drink, for I am thirsty." So she opened a skin of milk, gave him a drink, and covered him again.

    20He said to her, "Stand at the entrance to the tent. If anyone comes and asks you, 'Is there a man here?' say, 'No.'"

    21But Jael, the wife of Heber, picked up a tent peg and a hammer, and she went quietly to him while he lay fast asleep, exhausted. She drove the peg through his temple into the ground—and he died.

    22Just then, Barak came by in pursuit of Sisera, and Jael went out to meet him. She said, "Come, and I will show you the man you're looking for." So he went in with her, and there lay Sisera with the tent peg through his temple—dead.
