Judges 4:15-19 Common English Bible (CEB)

15. The Lord threw Sisera and all the chariots and army into a panic before Barak; Sisera himself got down from his chariot and fled on foot.

16. Barak pursued the chariots and the army all the way back to Harosheth-ha-goiim, killing Sisera’s entire army with the sword. No one survived.

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

18. Jael went out to meet Sisera and said to him, "Come in, sir, come in here. Don’t be afraid." So he went with her into the tent, and she hid him under a blanket.

19. Sisera said to her, "Please give me a little water to drink. I’m thirsty." So she opened a jug of milk, gave him a drink, and hid him again.
