24 “Most blessed among women is Jael,
The wife of Heber the Kenite;
(A)Blessed is she among women in tents.
25 He asked for water, she gave milk;
She brought out cream in a lordly bowl.
26 She stretched her hand to the tent peg,
Her right hand to the workmen’s hammer;
She pounded Sisera, she pierced his head,
She split and struck through his temple.
27 At her feet he sank, he fell, he lay still;
At her feet he sank, he fell;
Where he sank, there he fell (B)dead.

At her feet he sank, he fell;
    where he sank, there he fell—dead(F).
