New Living Translation

Judges 4:20-24 New Living Translation (NLT)

20. “Stand at the door of the tent,” he told her. “If anybody comes and asks you if there is anyone here, say no.”

21. But when Sisera fell asleep from exhaustion, Jael quietly crept up to him with a hammer and tent peg in her hand. Then she drove the tent peg through his temple and into the ground, and so he died.

22. When Barak came looking for Sisera, Jael went out to meet him. She said, “Come, and I will show you the man you are looking for.” So he followed her into the tent and found Sisera lying there dead, with the tent peg through his temple.

23. So on that day Israel saw God defeat Jabin, the Canaanite king.

24. And from that time on Israel became stronger and stronger against King Jabin until they finally destroyed him.
