Blessed above women shall Jael be, The wife of Heber the Kenite; Blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
Amerding has this regarding this event: "Jael, despite the vicious nature of her violent act, kept covenant-faith with the nation to which her people had been joined, and Heber's `peace with Jabin'  (Judges 4:17) was a violation of his family's prior commitment to Yahweh."[36]
