Judges 4:21
Kisha Jaeli (mke wa Heberi) akachukua kigingi cha hema na nyundo mkononi mwake akamwendea kwa siri, kwa sababu alikuwa amelala usingizi mzito, naye akakitia kigingi cha hema upande wa kichwa chake akamchoma na kikapenya kushuka chini. Hivyo akafa.

Then Jael Heber's wife took a nail of the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died.
But as he lay sleeping from exhaustion, Heber’s wife Jael took a tent peg, grabbed a hammer, and went silently to Sisera. She drove the peg through his temple and into the ground, and he died.
Then Jael, Heber’s wife, took a tent peg, and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him, and struck the pin into his temples, and it pierced through into the ground, for he was in a deep sleep; so he fainted and died.

In context
18 Jaeli akatoka kumlaki Sisera, akamwambia, karibu, bwana wangu; karibu kwangu, wala usiogope. Basi akakaribia kwake, akaingia hemani kwake, naye akamvika bushuti.
19 Akamwambia, Tafadhali nipe maji kidogo ninywe, kwa maana nina kiu. Alifungua mfuko wa ngozi ya maziwa akampa anywe, kisha akamfunika tena.
20 Akamwambia, “Simama mlangoni pa hema. Ikiwa mtu atakuja na kukuuliza, 'Je, kuna mtu hapa?', Sema 'Hapana'.”
21 Kisha Jaeli (mke wa Heberi) akachukua kigingi cha hema na nyundo mkononi mwake akamwendea kwa siri, kwa sababu alikuwa amelala usingizi mzito, naye akakitia kigingi cha hema upande wa kichwa chake akamchoma na kikapenya kushuka chini. Hivyo akafa.
22 Baraka alipokuwa akimfuata Sisera, Jaeli alitoka kukutana naye akamwambia, “Njoo, nitakuonyesha mtu unayemtafuta.” Basi akaingia pamoja naye, tazama Sisera amekufa, na kigingi cha hema kando ya kichwa chake.
23 Basi siku hiyo Mungu alimshinda Jabin, mfalme wa Kanaani, mbele ya watu wa Israeli.
24 Uwezo wa watu wa Israeli ulikua na nguvu zaidi dhidi ya Jabin mfalme wa Kanaani, hata walipomwangamiza.
