Judges 5:24-30

24Most blessed of women is Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite; she is most blessed among tent-dwelling women.

25He asked for water; she gave him milk. She brought him cream in a majestic bowl.

26She reached for a tent peg, her right hand, for a workman’s hammer. Then she hammered Sisera — she crushed his head; she shattered and pierced his temple.

27He collapsed, he fell, he lay down between her feet; he collapsed, he fell between her feet; where he collapsed, there he fell — dead.

28Sisera’s mother looked through the window; she peered through the lattice, crying out: “Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why don’t I hear the hoofbeats of his horses?”

29Her wisest princesses answer her; she even answers herself:

30“Are they not finding and dividing the spoil — a girl or two for each warrior, the spoil of colored garments for Sisera, the spoil of an embroidered garment or two for my neck?”
