17-22. Sisera’s Death at Hand of Jael—Jael was at first ignorant of the character of her guest, and she resolved to conceal him; but when she afterward learned that he was Sisera, the enemy of God and of His people, her purpose changed. As he lay before her asleep, she overcame her natural reluctance to such an act, and slew him by driving a nail through his temples, pinning him to the earth. As Barak, in pursuit of his enemy, passed that way, he was called in by Jael to behold the vain-glorious captain dead at his feet, —slain by the hand of a woman (The Signs of the Times, June 16, 1881). {2BC 1002.7}

17-22. Siseras død ved Jaels hånd. - Først var Jael uvidende om hendes gæst karakter, og hun bestemte sig for at skjule ham; Men da hun senere erfarede at han var Sisera, Guds og Hans folks fjende, blev hans fortsat forandret. Idet hun lagde sig til at sove, overvandt hun sine naturlige tilbøjelighed til noget sådant, og ihjelslog ham ved at drive et søm igennem hans tindinger, synede han ned på jorden. Da Barak var ved at jage sin fjende, kom forbi den vej, blev han kaldt ind af Jael for at se den opblæste hærfører for sine fødder, (1003) - slået ihjel af en kvindes hånd (ST 16. juni, 1881).
