Judges 4:18-24 Amplified Bible (AMP)

18. And Jael went 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.

19. And he said to her, Give me, I pray you, a little water to drink for I am thirsty. And she opened a skin of milk and gave him a drink and covered him.

20. And he said to her, Stand at the door of the tent, and if any man comes and asks you, Is there any man here? Tell him, No.

21. But Jael, Heber's wife, took a tent pin and a hammer in her hand and went softly to him and drove the pin through his temple and into the ground; for he was in a deep sleep from weariness. So he died.

22. And behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him and said to him, Come, and I will show you the man you seek. And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the tent pin was in his temples.

23. So God subdued on that day Jabin king of Canaan before the Israelites.

24. And the hand of the Israelites bore more and more upon Jabin king of Canaan until they had destroyed [him].
