“And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said unto him, Come, and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his temples.”
Then Barak came in pursuit of Sisera; and Jael went out to meet him and said, 'Come, and I will show you the man whom you are seeking.' So he went into her tent; and there was Sisera lying dead, with the tent peg through his temple. — Jael's reception of Barak mirrors her earlier greeting of Sisera, yet here the welcome announces Sisera's death rather than false sanctuary. The display of Sisera's corpse with 'the tent peg through his temple' confirms the fulfillment of Jael's assassination of the Canaanite commander.
