18 Jael came out to welcome Sisera. She said to him, |Stop and rest, my lord. Stop and rest with me. Don't be afraid.| So Sisera stopped to rest in her tent, and she put a blanket over him. 19 He said to her, |Give me a little water to drink, because I'm thirsty.| She opened a goatskin container of milk and gave him some milk to drink. Then she covered him up again. 20 He said to her, |Stand watch at the entrance to the tent. If anyone comes along and asks you, 'Is there a man here?' say 'No.'| 21 Then Jael wife of Heber took a tent peg in one hand and a hammer in the other. She crept up on him, drove the tent peg through his temple into the ground while he was asleep from exhaustion, and he died. Judges 4:18-21, New English Translation.
