“Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite: for there was between Jabin the king of Hanor and the house of Heber the Kenite” (Judges 4:17).
Jael was a homemaker—wife of Heber the Kenite—only her home was a tent. During this time it was common for several women to be married to one man. However, each woman set up and maintained her own tent. Jael, as part of a nomadic people, was skilled in pitching and setting up a tent.
Jael had kinship ties with the Israelites. Her husband descended from Jethro, Moses father-in-law. Heber was on good terms with Canaanites. We will later see how this ties in with Sisera and his fate.
No one willing to be used of God should ever think her station in life is insignificant.
We’re going to see how God can use anyone to fulfill his plans.
