Then Jael Heber's wife took a tent-pin, and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him, and struck the pin into his temples, and it pierced through into the ground; for he was in a deep sleep; so he swooned and died.
Judges 4:22 is amusing. Somehow Barak had gotten on Sisera’s trail and finally found his way to Heber’s tent at the east end of the valley. As Deborah had commanded Barak to "Go" (Judges 4:6), now Jael commanded him to "Come." They used the same Hebrew word in addressing him on both occasions. The man who should have taken the initiative in attacking Israel’s enemy years earlier now got another order from a woman.
