Jael strikes the tent peg into Sisera’s temples

야엘이 장막 말뚝을 시스라의 살쩍에 박음

Judges 4:17–22: however Sisera flees away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite; for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite. Jael goes out to meet Sisera, and says to him, “Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; don’t be afraid.” He comes in to her into the tent, and she covers him with a rug. He says to her, “Please give me a little water to drink; for I am thirsty.” She opens a container of milk, and gives him a drink, and covers him. He says to her, “Stand in the door of the tent, and if any man comes and inquires of you, and says, ‘Is there any man here?’ you shall say, ‘No.’” Then Jael, Heber’s wife, takes a tent peg, and takes a hammer in her hand, and goes softly to him, and strikes the pin into his temples, and it pierces through into the ground, for he is in a deep sleep; so he faints and dies. Behold, as Barak pursues Sisera, Jael comes out to meet him, and says to him, “Come, and I will show you the man whom you seek.” Barak comes to her; and behold, Sisera lies dead, and the tent peg is in his temples.
