Judges 5:24-30

24“Most blessed among women is Jael, The wife of Heber the Kenite; Blessed is she among women in tents.

25He asked for water, she gave milk; She brought out cream in a lordly bowl.

26She stretched her hand to the tent peg, Her right hand to the workmen’s hammer; She pounded Sisera, she pierced his head, She split and struck through his temple.

27At her feet he sank, he fell, he lay still; At her feet he sank, he fell; Where he sank, there he fell dead.

28“The mother of Sisera looked through the window, And cried out through the lattice, ‘Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why tarries the clatter of his chariots?’

29Her wisest ladies answered her, Yes, she answered herself,

30‘Are they not finding and dividing the spoil: To every man a girl or two; For Sisera, plunder of dyed garments, Plunder of garments embroidered and dyed, Two pieces of dyed embroidery for the neck of the looter?’
