Vers. 17. Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feet, to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite: (for peace was between Jabin the King of Hazor, and between the house of Heber the Kenite.) 18. 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 tent, she covered him with a mantel. 19. And he said unto her, give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink, for I am thirsty: and she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him. 20. Again, he said unto her, stand in the door of the tent, and when any man doth come and enquire of thee, saying; Is any man here? thou shalt say, nay. 21. Then Jael Heber's wife took a nail of the tent, and took an hammer in her ⟨p. 220⟩hand, and went softly to him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground, (for he was fast asleep and weary) and so he died.
