4:17 Now Sisera ran away on foot to the tent of Jael, wife of Heber the Kenite, for King Jabin of Hazor 1 and the family of Heber the Kenite had made a peace treaty. 2 4:18 Jael came out to welcome Sisera. She said to him, “Stop and rest, 3 my lord. Stop and rest with me. Don’t be afraid.” So Sisera 4 stopped to rest in her tent, and she put a blanket over him.
