  Episode 901: Jael and the Fall of Sisera (Judges 4:17–24)

  Peter Leithart, Jeff Myers, James Bejon, and Alastair Roberts conclude their discussion of Judges 4, exploring Jael’s welcome of Sisera and her decisive victory with a tent peg and hammer. They trace connections with Rahab, Samson and Delilah, and the Levite’s concubine, considering hospitality, deception, and loyalty to God’s people. Along the way, they examine Jael and Deborah as figures of faithful motherhood, the significance of milk and honey, and the use of ordinary household tools in the Lord’s warfare.
