New Living Translation
Judges 4:18-22
18Jael went out to meet Sisera and said to him, “Come into my tent, sir. Come in. Don’t be afraid.” So he went into her tent, and she covered him with a blanket.
19“Please give me some water,” he said. “I’m thirsty.” So she gave him some milk from a leather bag and covered him again.
20“Stand at the door of the tent,” he told her. “If anybody comes and asks you if there is anyone here, say no.”
21But 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.
22When 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.
