Gen. xlvi. 14.JAHEL, or Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, killed Sisera, General of the Canaanitish army, who having fled for safety to her tent, and being there asleep, Jahel took the opportunity, and pierced his temples with a large nail, which she drove into them with an hammer. This fell out in the year of the World 2719, before Jesus Christ 1281, before the Vulgar Æra 1285.
