NETBible

Then Jael wife of Heber took a tent peg in one hand and a hammer in the other.¹ She crept up on him, drove the tent peg through his temple into the ground² while he was asleep from exhaustion,³ and he died.

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “took a tent peg and put a hammer in her hand.”

²tn Heb “and it went into the ground.”

³tn Heb “and exhausted.” Another option is to understand this as a reference to the result of the fatal blow. In this case, the phrase could be translated, “and he breathed his last.”
