    If anyone is wondering, it’s Jael or Yael, and Sisera. He was a defeated Canaanite general who fled to what he thought was a friendly village, but Jael had Israelite sympathies so she hammered a tent spike through his head while he slept. The image is from an illuminated 14th century manuscript from Germany.
