Judges 5:20-26

20The stars fought from heaven. The stars in their orbits fought against Sisera.

21The Kishon River swept them away— that ancient torrent, the Kishon. March on with courage, my soul!

22Then the horses’ hooves hammered the ground, the galloping, galloping of Sisera’s mighty steeds.

23‘Let the people of Meroz be cursed,’ said the angel of the Lord. ‘Let them be utterly cursed, because they did not come to help the Lord— to help the Lord against the mighty warriors.’

24“Most blessed among women is Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite. May she be blessed above all women who live in tents.

25Sisera asked for water, and she gave him milk. In a bowl fit for nobles, she brought him yogurt.

26Then with her left hand she reached for a tent peg, and with her right hand for the workman’s hammer. She struck Sisera with the hammer, crushing his head. With a shattering blow, she pierced his temples.
