16 And Barak pursued the fleeing chariots, and the army, as far as Harosheth of the Gentiles. And the entire multitude of the enemy was cut down, unto utter annihilation.
17 But Sisera, while fleeing, arrived at the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber, the Kenite. For there was peace between Jabin, the king of Hazor, and the house of Heber, the Kenite.
18 Therefore, Jael went out to meet Sisera, and she said to him: 'Enter to me, my lord. Enter, you should not be afraid.' And he entered her tent, and having been covered by her with a cloak,
19 he said to her: 'Give me, I beg you, a little water. For I am very thirsty.' And she opened a bottle of milk, and she gave him to drink. And she covered him.
20 And Sisera said to her: 'Stand before the door of the tent. And if anyone arrives, questioning you and saying, 'Could there be any man here?' you shall respond, 'There is no one.'
