There can be several reasons. One, she gave him more than he requested. He asked only for a little water, but she gave him rich milk to drink. In recounting the events, Deborah said, "He asked for water, she gave milk; She brought out cream in a lordly bowl" (Judges 5:25). By treating him so well, he assumed that she was on his side and that he was safe. Having a full stomach also makes a person more tired, especially after a hard day. All this combined to cause Sisera to fall asleep without too much worry about being attacked. Little did he expect an attack from the woman who was treating him so kindly.
Jael used a tent peg and a mallet to kill Sisera
sisera
Deborah was judging Israel during that time (Judges 4:4). According to the Bible, Sisera was killed by Jael, Heber's wife, after letting Him go to sleep deeply (Judges 4:21). After that, Jael met Barak and showed Sisera dead in her tent.
In the Book of Judges, Sisera was killed by Jael, a woman who invited him into her tent and then drove a tent peg through his temple while he was asleep. This event is recounted in Judges 4:17-22.
The person who died when his wife put a tent stake in his head was Sisera, a commander of the Canaanite army. This event is recorded in the Book of Judges in the Old Testament.
Jael drove a tent peg into the head of Sisera, commander of the Canaanite armies.
jael means billy goat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my name is jael and i hate its meaning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! jael means billy goat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my name is jael and i hate its meaning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes,Jael literally means in Hebrew, ''Mountain Goat'' and Jael in the Bible was praised by Deborah the prophetess for her act of bravery ''that is, when she defeated(killed) Sisera(the host of the Canaanites) who oppressed the Israelites(children of God) for 20years. She was a VICTOR and a BRAVE WOMAN. So,I LOVE my name Jael
Judges 4:22 - And then, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said to him, "Come, I will show you the man whom you seek." And when he went into her tent, there lay Sisera, dead with the peg in his temple.[NKJV]
Deborah was one of the Judges, and both she and Jael were instrumental in the victory over Sisera (Judges ch.4). See also 9:53.
JAELAlso it can be a boy name.(Ja′el) [Mountain Goat].The wife of Heber the Kenite, hence a non-Israelite, and slayer of the Canaanite army chief Sisera.With her husband, Jael tented near Kedesh, and there was peace between Heber and the Canaanite oppressors. (Jg 4:10, 11, 17, 21; see KEDESH No. 3.) After Sisera was defeated at Israel's hand, he fled to Heber's neutral encampment, where Jael invited him into her tent. She then covered him with a blanket. When he asked for water she gave him a banquet bowl of curdled milk to drink. After she again covered him up, he asked her to stand guard at the entrance of the tent. Thinking himself secure as her guest, the tired and weary Sisera soon fell fast asleep. Jael, who as a tent dweller was undoubtedly used to driving tent pins into the ground, then quietly came in to him armed with a hammer and a tent pin that she drove through his head into the earth. When the pursuer Barak arrived, she showed him the army chief, dead at "the hand of a woman," as Deborah foretold. (Jg 4:9, 17-22) Jael's courageous act against the enemy of Almighty God is extolled in the victory song of Deborah and Barak, which also pronounces Jael "most blessed among women."-Jg 5:6, 24-27.INSIGHT ON THE SCRIPTURESAlso
