The answer is: Drove a tent peg into his head

Judg 4:21

Oh, the story of Jael and Sisera is one of those wild tales that leaves you both amazed and swiping for the popcorn to munch on! Situated in the Book of Judges, it’s not just a drama-filled moment but symbolizes something much richer—empowerment and unexpected heroism.

Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, took things into her own hands in an act that literally turned the tide of battle. While Sisera fled from the Israelites, hot on his heels’, he ran into Jael's tent, expecting refuge. But instead of a warm welcome, he met a cold and calculated fate. Grabbing a tent peg and a hammer—a tool of domesticity, granted—she boldly, and let’s be real, quite viciously, nailed Sisera's doom. This dramatic ending underscores how appearances can be misleading. Jael, seemingly just a homemaker, embraced a warrior’s role when it counted the most.

It’s fascinating that this story has echoes throughout the Bible, hinting at how non-traditional heroes arise in times of crisis. We see echoes in modern narratives, like the dark yet powerful themes in famous films where the seemingly weak oust the might of a powerful adversary. Ultimately, Jael’s act reminds us we're often bred from unexpected soil, showing that anyone can seize the day, turning creatures of complacency into champions of change!
