In Judges four, the Israelites have been enslaved by Jabin, King of Cannaan for twenty years. They cry out to The Lord for help and Deborah sets up a meeting and sens Barak with 20000 men to attack. While they were attacking, the commander of the army, Sisera, fled to the tent of Jael. He told her to stand by the door and that if anyone asked, she had not seen him. He then laid down and fell asleep. Jael took a tent peg and a hammer and killed Sisera. Then she showed the men who were looking for him his body.

 My favorite verse is verse 21, " But Jael, Heber’s wife, picked up a tent peg and a hammer and went quietly to him while he lay fast asleep, exhausted. She drove the peg through his temple into the ground, and he died." This is my favorite verse because it kind of made me laugh. Like I was reading and totally didn't expect that that woman would do that. It kind makes me think like wow girl power, we can be strong too. 

Actually Jael inspired me to do what is right no matter what the costs. Like, I'm sure she knew that if she killed that man it would always be on her conscience because killing someone is not easy, obviously.  My friends swear a lot and I know it isn't right so even though I know they wouldn't like think I was weird if I didn't swear they will still think of me as different and I need to do what's right no matter what my friends are gonna think.
