Judges 4:20-22
1599 Geneva Bible
20 Again he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent, and when any man doth come and inquire of thee, saying, Is [a]any man there? thou shalt say, Nay.
21 Then Jael Heber’s wife took a [b]nail of the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground, (for he was fast asleep and weary) and so he died.
22 And behold, as Barak pursued after Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said unto him, Come, and I will show thee the man, whom thou seekest: and when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay [c]dead, and the nail in his temples.
