  • Sisera
rdfs:comment
  • The two armies met at Mount Tabor where God gave victory to the Israelites by causing a storm, which created mud, and all the Canaanite chariots were stuck in it. The Canaanites were then at the mercy of the Israelite army. During the slaughter that followed, Sisera fled on foot. He went into the tent of Jael, the wife of a man who was nominally loyal to King Jabin . She gave him food and water, but while he slept, she drove a tent peg into his head, killing him. She reported Sisera's death to the Israelites.
  • Sisera H Malvalon (she wonders the streets under a different name currently)
  • His name is usually regarded as Philistine, Hittite or Hurrian. Some speculated that its origins were Egyptian (Ses-Ra, "servant of Ra"). After all was lost, he fled to the settlement of Heber the Kenite in the plain of Zaanaim. Jael, Heber's wife, received him into her tent with apparent hospitality and "gave him milk" "in a lordly dish." Having drunk the refreshing beverage, he lay down and soon sank into the sleep of the weary. While he lay asleep, Jael crept stealthily up to him and, taking in her hand one of the tent pegs, with a mallet she drove it with such force through his temples that it entered into the ground where he lay, and "at her feet he bowed, he fell; where he bowed, there he fell down dead." ( Judges 4:18-21 and Judges 5:25-27)

( Judges 4:18-21 and Judges 5:25-27) After the battle, there was peace in the land for forty years. (Judges 5:31) It was because Sisera's mother cried a hundred cries when he did not return home that the shofar is blown for a total of 100 blasts on Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year.
