Jael
Jael was the wife of Heber the Kenite. During Israel’s conflict with Jabin, she killed Sisera, the fleeing commander, by driving a tent peg through his head while he slept.
Biblical Usage
Jael appears in the account of Israel’s deliverance from Canaanite oppression and is praised in Deborah’s song. The supplied material records the deed but does not present it as divinely inspired or morally easy to justify.
