The housewife who defeated a General

Meet Jael—the woman who ended a war with a tent peg and a hammer. When a powerful general fled the battlefield, he found safety in the tent of a "harmless" woman. He asked for warm milk; she gave him a blow to his head with a hammer and a tent peg. He was certified DEAD! She ended 20years of oppression. In this video, learn about the gritty story of Jael from the Book of Judges: The Ultimate Plot Twist: How a powerful general lost his life to a woman instead of a great army. A Stealthy Strategy: How Jael used ancient hospitality laws to lure the enemy into a trap. The Prophecy Fulfilled: How Deborah predicted a woman would get the glory for the victory. Why Jael is a Total Icon: She wasn't a soldier, or a queen—but an ordinary woman who saw an opportunity to stop an oppressor and took it with nerves of steel.
