20 Il lui dit encore: Tiens-toi à l’entrée de la tente, et si l’on vient t’interroger en disant: Y a-t-il ici quelqu’un? Tu répondras: Non.

21 Jaël, femme de Héber, saisit un pieu de la tente, prit en main le marteau, s’approcha de lui doucement, et lui enfonça dans la tempe le pieu, qui pénétra en terre. Il était profondément endormi et accablé de fatigue; et il mourut.

22 Comme Barak poursuivait Sisera, Jaël sortit à sa rencontre et lui dit: Viens, et je te montrerai l’homme que tu cherches. Il entra chez elle, et voici, Sisera était étendu mort, le pieu dans la tempe.
