Judges 4:20-24 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

20. Then Sisera said to Jael, “Go stand at the entrance to the tent. If anyone comes and asks you, ‘Is anyone here?’ say, ‘No.’”

21. But Jael, the wife of Heber, took a tent peg and a hammer. She quietly went to Sisera. Since he was very tired, he was sleeping. She hammered the tent peg through the side of Sisera’s head and into the ground! And so Sisera died.

22. Then Barak came by Jael’s tent, chasing Sisera. Jael went out to meet him and said, “Come. I will show you the man you are looking for.” So Barak entered her tent. There Sisera lay dead, with the tent peg in his head.

23. On that day God defeated Jabin king of Canaan in the sight of Israel.

24. Israel became stronger and stronger against Jabin king of Canaan. Finally, they destroyed him.
