“She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen’s hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his head, when she had pierced and stricken through his temples.”
'At her feet he sank, he fell, he lay still; at her feet he sank, he fell; where he sank, there he fell dead. — The repetitive pattern emphasizes Sisera's utter collapse and death, with the threefold diminishment ('sank... fell... lay still') indicating complete military and physical defeat. The antithetical closure of the stanza suggests Sisera's military aspirations literally died at Jael's feet.
