Again he said: Stand at the door of the tent. When any man comes to inquire and asks: 'Is there a man here?' Say: No.' Then Jael Heber's wife picked up a tent peg and a hammer and went to him while he was fast asleep and drove the peg into his temple and it went down into the ground. He was fast asleep and weary. So he died.
