18 When Jael came out [of her tent], she met Sisera. She told him, |Sir, come in here! Come into my tent. Don't be afraid.| So he went into her tent, and she hid him under a tent curtain. 19 Sisera said to her, |Please give me a little water to drink. I'm thirsty.| But instead she gave him milk to drink and covered him up again. 20 He said to her, |Stand at the door of the tent. If anyone comes and asks if there has been a man around here, tell them no.| 21 When Sisera had fallen sound asleep from exhaustion, Jael, Heber's wife, took a tent peg and walked quietly toward him with a hammer in her hand. She hammered the tent peg through his temples into the ground. So Sisera died. Judges 4:18-21, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
