And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said unto him, Come, and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his temples.

Verse 22 is found in chapter 4 of Judges. Sisera flees to Jael’s tent, where she apparently receives him with hospitality. She then kills him while he sleeps and delivers his body to Barak. Deborah’s prophecy is fulfilled literally: a woman receives the decisive honor over the enemy commander. The section concludes by stating that Israel progressively destroyed Jabin’s power, showing that the deliverance begun in battle continues until the oppressor is defeated.

Da aber Barak Sisera nachjagte, ging Jael heraus, ihm entgegen, und sprach zu ihm: Gehe her! ich will dir den Mann zeigen, den du suchst. Und da er zu ihr hineinkam, lag Sisera tot, und der Nagel steckte in seiner Schläfe.
Y siguiendo Barac a Sísara, Jael salió a recibirlo, y díjole: Ven, y te mostraré al varón que tú buscas. Y él entró donde ella estaba, y he aquí Sísara yacía muerto con la estaca por la sien.
Cuando Barac llegó persiguiendo a Sísara, Jael salió a su encuentro y le dijo: «Ven, te mostraré al hombre que buscas». Entró con ella, y allí estaba Sísara, tendido, muerto, con la estaca en la sien.
Comme Barak poursuivait Sisera, Jaël sortit à sa rencontre et lui dit: Viens, et je te montrerai l'homme que tu cherches. Il entra chez elle, et voici, Sisera était étendu mort, le pieu dans la tempe.
Ed ecco Barac, che perseguitava Sisera; e Iael gli uscì incontro e gli disse: Vieni, e io ti mostrerò l’uomo che tu cerchi. Ed egli entrò da lei; ed ecco, Sisera giaceva morto col piuolo nella tempia.
E eis que, seguindo Baraque a Sísera, Jael lhe saiu ao encontro, e disse-lhe: Vem, e mostrar-te-ei o homem que buscas. E foi a ela, e eis que Sísera jazia morto, com a estaca na fonte.
看哪, 巴拉 追趕 西西拉 , 雅億 出來迎接他,對他說:「來,我給你看你要找的人。」他就進入帳棚,看哪, 西西拉 已經倒在地上死了,橛子還在他的太陽穴中。
