25)[line 30]"ידה ליתד תשלחנה וימינה להלמות עמלים [והלמה סיסרא מחקה ראשו ומחצה וחלפה רקתו]""YADAH LA'YASED TISHLACHNAH, VI'YEMINAH LE'HALMUS AMELIM; [V'HALMAH SISRA MACHAKAH ROSHO, U'MACHATZAH V'CHALFAH RAKASO]" - "She stretched her hand to the peg and her right hand to the laborer's hammer; [she hammered Sisra, severed his head, and smashed and pierced his temple.]" (Shoftim 5:26) (Yael Kills Sisra)
(a)After the death of the Shofet (judge; leader of Klal Yisrael) Ehud Ben Geira, Bnei Yisrael grew lax in their observance of Torah and Mitzvos. In order to stimulate the nation to Teshuvah, HaSh-m allowed King Yavin of Chatzor to attack and subjugate them. After twenty years of oppression under the iron fist of his cruel general Sisra, Bnei Yisrael finally repented and cried out to HaSh-m for relief.
(b)As they were now worthy of redemption, HaSh-m informed Devorah the prophetess that if Bnei Yisrael would wage war against Sisra, they would be successful. Together, she and Barak ben Avino'am (her husband, acting as general) led Bnei Yisrael to victory, following a flash flood which HaSh-m first brought to Nachal Kishon (the wadi of Kishon, through which a river flowed) to wipe out much of Sisra's army along with all 900 of his iron chariots. Sisra escaped the battlefield, only to meet his end at the hand of Yael, wife of Chever ha'Keini. The account of this battle and the glorious Song of Devorah that it inspired are recorded in Shoftim 4-5.
(c)Sisra's army fell miraculously, as if the angels were fighting on behalf of Yisrael. The Chachamim explain that HaSh-m caused the stars to heat up their suits of armor so that they would enter the wadi of Kishon to cool down. A miracle occurred and the water of the river swept them away and they drowned. Simultaneously, HaSh-m kept His word to the fish of the Yam Suf: When He ordered the sea to cast the corpses of the Egyptians onto dry land, the fish were deprived of their fodder, and He promised that a time would come when He would repay them. The fish now received their long-awaited meal.
(d)Yisrael, under the leadership of Devorah and Barak, miraculously annihilated the army of Sisra, in spite of his 900 iron chariots. Sisra fled on foot and arrived at the tent of Chever ha'Keini (a descendent of Yisro), who was neutral, where he was greeted by his righteous wife, Yael, who invited him into the tent. To drain his strength completely, she allowed him to be intimate with her seven times, as the Gemara explains. Following that, she gave him milk, which made him drowsy. When he fell asleep, she took one of the tent-pegs and hammered it into his skull, killing him instantly. The commentaries explain that she used a tent-peg, rather than Sisra's sword, because a woman is forbidden to wield weapons (since they are considered the apparel of men). When, a short while later, Barak came looking for Sisra, Yael was able to show him the corpse of the enemy general.
(c)Sisra's mother, meanwhile, was peering anxiously out of her window, wondering why her warrior son was so long in returning from the battlefield. The wives of the generals reassured her that the delay was due to the division of the vast amount of spoil that they surely captured from the defeated Jewish army, and due to his choosing from the beautiful Jewish maidens, as the verse relates. The real reason for her son's failure to arrive was Yael's act on behalf of the Jewish people.
