But Sisera fled away on foot
to the tent of Jay-el,
the wife of Hebber the Keenite,
for there was peace between Jabin
the king of Hazor and the house
of Hebber the Keenite.
And Jay-el came out to meet Sisera
and said to him,
“Turn aside, my lord;
turn aside to me; do not be afraid.”
So he turned aside to her into the tent,
and she covered him with a rug.
And 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.
And he said to her,
“Stand at the opening of the tent,
and if any man comes and asks you,
‘Is anyone here?’ say, ‘No.’”
But Jay-el the wife of Hebber took a tent peg,
and took a hammer in her hand.
Then she went softly to him
and drove the peg into his temple
until it went down into the ground while
he was lying fast asleep from weariness.
So he died.
And behold, as Barak was pursuing Sisera,
Jay-el went out to meet him and said
to him, “Come, and I will show you
the man whom you are seeking.”
So he went in to her tent, and there
lay Sisera d**d, with the tent peg in his temple.
So on that day God
subdued Jabin the king of Canaan
before the people of Israel.
And the hand of the people of Israel
pressed harder and harder
against Jabin the king of Canaan,
until they destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.
But Jay-el the wife of Hebber took a tent peg,
and took a hammer in her hand.
But Jay-el the wife of Hebber took a tent peg,
and took a hammer in her hand.
But Jay-el the wife of Hebber took a tent peg,
and took a hammer in her hand.
