jael Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of {Jael} the wife of Heber the Kenite: for [there was] peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite. jael And {Jael} went out to meet Sisera, and said unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in unto her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle. jael Then {Jael} Heber's wife took a nail of the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died. jael And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, {Jael} came out to meet him, and said unto him, Come, and I will show thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her [tent], behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail [was] in his temples. jael In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of {Jael}, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways. jael Blessed above women shall {Jael} the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent. ~~~~~~
