20. He said to her, “Stand at the door of the tent. If anyone comes and asks if there has been a man around here, tell them no.”
21. When Sisera had fallen sound asleep from exhaustion, Jael, Heber’s wife, took a tent peg and walked quietly toward him with a hammer in her hand. She hammered the tent peg through his temples into the ground. So Sisera died.
22. Barak was still pursuing Sisera. When Jael came out ⌊of her tent⌋, she met him. She said to him, “Come in! I have something to show you—the man you’ve been looking for.” So Barak went into her tent. He saw Sisera lying there dead with the tent peg through his temples.
