Judges 5:24-28
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 5
24'Most blessed of women is Jael, The wife of Heber the Kenite; Most blessed is she of women in the tent. 25He asked for water, she gave him milk; In a magnificent bowl she brought him curds. 26She reached out her hand for the tent peg, And her right hand for the workmen’s hammer. Then she struck Sisera, she smashed his head; And she shattered and pierced his temple. 27Between her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay; Between her feet he bowed, he fell; Where he bowed, there he fell dead. 28'Out of the window she looked and wailed, The mother of Sisera through the lattice, ‘Why does his chariot delay in coming? Why do the hoofbeats of his chariots delay?’King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 5
24Jael is most blessed of women, the wife of Heber the Kenite; she is most blessed among tent-dwelling women. 25He asked for water; she gave him milk. She brought him cream in a majestic bowl. 26She reached for a tent peg, her right hand, for a workman’s hammer. Then she hammered Sisera— she crushed his head; she shattered and pierced his temple.
27He collapsed, he fell, he lay down between her feet; he collapsed, he fell between her feet; where he collapsed, there he fell—dead.
28Sisera’s mother looked through the window; she peered through the lattice, crying out: "Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why don’t I hear the hoofbeats of his horses?"
New Living Translation
Chapter 5
24'Most blessed among women is Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite. May she be blessed above all women who live in tents. 25Sisera asked for water, and she gave him milk. In a bowl fit for nobles, she brought him yogurt. 26Then with her left hand she reached for a tent peg, and with her right hand for the workman’s hammer. She struck Sisera with the hammer, crushing his head. With a shattering blow, she pierced his temples. 27He sank, he fell, he lay still at her feet. And where he sank, there he died.English Standard Version
