Judges 4:21 in Context — Judges 4
19 E ele lhe disse: Rogo-te me dês a beber um pouco de água, que tenho sede. E ela abriu um odre de leite e deu-lhe de beber, e voltou-lhe a cobrir.
20 E ele lhe disse: Fica-te à porta da tenda, e se alguém vier, e te perguntar, dizendo: Há aqui alguém? Tu responderás que não.
21 E Jael, mulher de Héber, tomou uma estaca da tenda, e pondo uma marreta em sua mão, veio a ele caladamente, e meteu-lhe a estaca pela têmpora, e encravou-o na terra, pois ele estava carregado de sonho e cansado; e assim morreu.
22 E seguindo Baraque a Sísera, Jael saiu a recebê-lo, e disse-lhe: Vem, e te mostrarei ao homem que tu buscas. E ele entrou de onde ela estava, e eis que Sísera jazia morto com a estaca pela têmpora.
23 Assim abateu Deus aquele dia a Jabim, rei de Canaã, diante dos filhos de Israel.
