Who drove a tent peg through Sisera?

Explanation:
Sisera’s defeat comes through an unexpected, decisive act in the Judges narrative. He seeks refuge in Jael’s tent, and while he sleeps, Jael drives a tent peg through his temple with a hammer, killing him. This moment fulfills the message that deliverance would come through a woman, and it directly removes Sisera from power, allowing Israel to win the day under Deborah’s leadership. The other figures aren’t connected to this event: Deborah leads and prophesies but does not kill Sisera herself; Ruth is a different story from a different part of the Bible; Judith belongs to a separate, non-Canonical book in many traditions. So Jael is the one who drove the tent peg.
