Hakim-hakim 4:21

4:21 Then Jael wife of Heber took a tent peg in one hand and a hammer in the other. ¹  She crept up on him, drove the tent peg through his temple into the ground ²  while he was asleep from exhaustion, ³  and he died.

Hakim-hakim 11:35

11:35 When he saw her, he ripped his clothes and said, “Oh no! My daughter! You have completely ruined me! ⁴  You have brought me disaster! ⁵  I made an oath to the Lord, and I cannot break it.” ⁶ 

[4:21]  ¹ tn Heb “took a tent peg and put a hammer in her hand.”

[4:21]  ² tn Heb “and it went into the ground.”

[4:21]  ³ tn Heb “and exhausted.” Another option is to understand this as a reference to the result of the fatal blow. In this case, the phrase could be translated, “and he breathed his last.”

[11:35]  ⁴ tn Heb “you have brought me very low,” or “you have knocked me to my knees.” The infinitive absolute precedes the verb for emphasis.

[11:35]  ⁵ tn Heb “You are among [or “like”] those who trouble me.”

[11:35]  ⁶ tn Heb “I opened my mouth to the Lord and I am not able to return.”
