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.^[a] She crept up on him, drove the tent peg through his temple into the ground^[b] while he was asleep from exhaustion,^[c] and he died.
