15
And the LORD broke Sisera and all
his chariots and all
his host with the edge of the sword before Barak so that Sisera lighted down off
his chariot and fled away on foot.
16
But Barak pursued after the chariots and after the host unto Harosheth of the Gentiles, and all the camp of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword,
and there was not a man left.
17
And Sisera fled on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, for
there was peace between Jabin, the king of Hazor, and the house of Heber the Kenite.
18
And Jael went out to meet Sisera and said unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in unto her into the tent, she covered him with a thick coverlet.
19
And he said unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink, for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk and gave him to drink and covered him again.
20
Again he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent, and if anyone should come and enquire of thee and say, Is there anyone here? Thou shalt say, No.
21
Then Jael, Heber’s wife, took the tent stake, and putting a hammer in her hand, went softly unto him and smote the stake into his temples and fastened it into the ground, for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died.
22
And as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him and said unto him, Come, and I will show thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he entered into where she was, behold, Sisera lay dead with the stake through his temples.
23
So God subjected on that day Jabin, the king of Canaan, before the sons of Israel.
24
And the hand of the sons of Israel began to prosper and to prevail against Jabin, the king of Canaan until they had destroyed him.
