24 Most blessed above women is Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite; above women in the tent she is blessed. 25 Water he requested, milk she gave; in a Magnificent bowl she brought out curds. 26 Her hand to the tent peg she stretched, and her right hand to the hammer of workmen, and she pounded Sisera, she pierced his head, and she shattered and pierced through his temple. 27 Between her feet he sank, he fell, he lay still; between her feet he sank, he fell; where he sank, there he fell dead. 28 Through the window looked and cried out the mother of Sisera, through the lattice, ‘Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why do tarry the hoofbeats of his chariots?’ 29 The wisest of her princesses answered her; indeed, she returns her words herself: 30 ‘Do not they find and divide the loot—a womb or two wombs for every man; loot of dyed garments for Sisera, loot of embroidered dyed garments, two pieces of dyed embroidery for the neck of the looter?’ 31 So may all Your enemies perish, O YHWH; and let those who love Him be like the sun when it rises in full strength.” And the land had rest forty years.
