Judges 5:24-27

Most blessed of women be Jael,
the wife of Heber the Kenite,
of tent-dwelling women most blessed. 
He asked water and she gave him milk,
she brought him curds in a lordly bowl. 
She put her hand to the tent-peg
and her right hand to the workmen’s mallet;
she struck Sisera a blow,
she crushed his head,
she shattered and pierced his temple. 
He sank, he fell,
he lay still at her feet;
at her feet he sank, he fell;
where he sank, there he fell dead.

“Jael and Sisera” by Artemisia Gentileschi, ca. 1620.
